Dexter Nduna To Continue His Duties As Legislator Despite Court Challenge

Parliament has given newly-elected Chegutu West Member of Parliament Dexter Nduna the green light to continue his duties as legislator notwithstanding a court challenge to his electoral victory. This was after opposition MDC legislators had sought to have him barred from making contributions in the National Assembly, saying the Electoral Court is still to rule on an electoral challenge by his rival, Gift Konjana.

Shouted one MDC lawmaker:

He has no right to say anything here, he lost elections, he is not an MP and he is a thief

This led Nduna to seek the Speaker’s protection, which Mudenda duly accorded him by ruling that until the courts rule otherwise, he should enjoy his full rights as an MP.

Ruled Mudenda:

The case of … Nduna and a few others, their matters are in court and the due process of court has not been completed to pronounce otherwise. So, in this case, he can ask a question and be here in Parliament
