Mnangagwa Calls On MPs To Stop Making "Outrageous" Demands

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has called on public servants, including legislators, to tighten their belts and stop making outrageous demands as the country goes through a lean restructuring spell.

This comes as legislators from both the MDC and Zanu-PF tabled a list of demands to Treasury that include an increase in their budget allocation as well as latest Land Cruiser vehicles among other things. Said Mnangagwa:

As we restructure, reform and rebuild our economy, cutting expenditure plays an important role. I wish to remind all public servants that we must lead by example, and serve the people with modesty and humility. The sacrifices we make today are the foundations of a better tomorrow.
