President Emmerson Mnangagwa yesterday urged parliamentarians to be accountable to the people who elected them into office and help to push forward the country’s vision.
He said this during the ground-breaking ceremony for the new Parliament building in Mt Hampden, Harare. Mnangagwa also warned MPs against bunking parliamentary sessions. Said Mnangagwa:
I urge all parliamentarians to understand that they have a critical role to play as they enact and pass laws that will propel attainment of our national vision 2030. As such, hard work, diligence and commitment to duty must be embedded in all parliamentarians. In the Second Republic, non-attendance of meetings and dereliction of parliamentary duty should not be tolerated.
