Allocate ministers cheaper cars, says Chamisa

KUWADZANA East MP Nelson Chamisa (MDC-T) yesterday suggested that ministers must be allocated cheaper vehicle models like Toyota Vitz and Honda Fit to cut down on high government spending.

Chamisa made the proposal in the National Assembly when Deputy Minister of Public Affairs Tapiwanashe Matangaidze was being quizzed by Mkoba MP Amos Chibaya (MDC-T) on why government was struggling to pay civil servants.
Matangaidze said government had since improved in payment of salaries.

Chamisa then suggested as a way of reducing expenditure, government should consider cutting benefits for top government officials.

Matangaidze said he would take up Chamisa's suggestion.
