CIVIC society organisations have confronted Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda over Parliament’s submissive role to Zanu PF, a situation they claimed was stalling development in Matabeleland region. BY PRAISEMORE SITHOLE The allegations came up during Mudenda’s meeting with civic society organisations in Bulawayo during his nationwide tour to educate citizens about the role and operations of the Legislature. Gwanda resident Bekezela Maduma Fuzwayo said Zanu PF had a lot of influence on parliamentary business, blaming it on the alleged marginalisation of Matabeleland as a region. He alleged that most developmental projects were spearheaded by parliamentary committees led by Zanu PF. “We do not see how Parliament is performing its role of oversight. There are many reports that get into Parliament and no actual outcome is seen. It seems the ruling party has more power over Parliament,” Fuzwayo said. “Government leaves many projects unfinished. For example, in Gwanda, we have a court that has not been completed for 15 years now. The road from Gwanda to Maphisa has also not been finished for so many years.” He said in 2018, they had to chase away a Parliamentary Portfolio Committee for not taking the people’s views to Parliament after public consultations. But Mudenda dismissed the claims that Zanu PF controlled Parliament business. “There is nothing like that in parliamentary committees. They are composed of MPs from across the political affiliations represented in Parliament. The chairmanship is shared by the Standing Rules and Order Committee which is the executive of Parliament,” Mudenda said. “The opposition MDC chairs seven committees, including one of the most important committees on Public Accounts, which must always be handled by members of the opposition in most jurisdictions throughout the world.” Mudenda said that was the reason why the MDC Alliance MP, Tendai Biti was the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). “Some of the reports that have been published on our website by Biti are very scathing in their oversight response on how the government is operating in terms of the use of public funds,” Mudenda said, adding that PAC worked with the Auditor-General’s Office to expose misuse of funds. “The reports and recommendations have been taken on board, for example, the Nssa forensic report has resulted in the arrest of several high-ranking officials at the National Social Security Authority.” Mudenda said the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Energy’s report had led to the arrest of the former Energy minister (Samuel Undenge) who is currently languishing in jail. He said reports by the Committee on Health had also exposed corruption at the National Pharmaceutical Company. Follow Praisemore on Twitter @TPraisemore

By JILL COLVIN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump still won't bring himself to concede the election he decisively lost to President-elect Joe Biden. But he's now acknowledging he will leave the White House if Biden's win is affirmed by the Electoral College, which is firmly on track to do just that in a few weeks. 'Certainly I will,' he said Thursday when asked if he will vacate the premises after electors make Biden's win formal. 'But you know that.' Trump, who took questions from reporters for the first time since the election, unleashed another round of complaints […]

ZIMBABWEANS have expressed mixed feelings on the 2021 national budget presented by Finance minister Mthuli Ncube in Parliament yesterday, saying it should have been configured in United States dollars as the economy has dollarised. BY RICHARD MUPONDE/VANESSA GONYE Ncube presented his budget in Zimbabwe dollars with education getting the largest allocation after it was given $500 billion. Norton legislator Temba Mliswa (independent) said: “The fuel which is used to drive the truck economy is being sold in US dollars yet people are not being paid that money. We should have real money. It is not good for us to just have big numbers without value. The economy has dollarised.” Miriam Mushonga from Mabvuku added: “The minister (Mthuli) should have presented the budget in US dollars because everything is now being charged in that currency. “Civil servants should be paid in US dollars. Citizens are being paid in Zimdollars, but have to bear the brunt of using hard currency with their earnings chewed by the cross rate.” Community Working Group on Health executive director Itai Rusike said the 2021 budget allocation to the health sector was below the level required for the delivery of quality services despite the fact that health has maintained its ranking in the top five ministries in allocation of government funding. “The Health and Child Care ministry got $54,7 billion which is about 13% (of the budget). But has the allocation increased in real terms if compared to other years? “While the government has shown signs of prioritising health, the overall level of public spending is still low relative to need. Health, thus, needs to continue to be prioritised and the share of gross domestic product needs to be maintained,” he said. He, however, noted that the budget allocation for health did not increase in real terms. Rusike urged the government to make health delivery a top priority if it was to save its health institutions from imminent collapse. “The state of health services is directly related to the government’s misplaced priorities. Government is not allocating adequate resources to the health sector,” he said. Rusike hinted on the possibility of the COVID-19 pandemic going out of hand should there be no adjustments to the health sector allocation. Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Education chairperson Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga said she was happy with the budget as her brief was given. “The ministry (Primary and Secondary Education) was given a lot of money. I just hope it is not going to salaries. In the previous budget, all the money went to budget salaries,” she said. Tafadzwa Chireya from Epworth said he was happy that education was given a priority. “You see for yourself that the standards of education have gone down, especially because of COVID-19. The amount that has been given to education is good enough to put back the rails of our education system. I just hope the amount is not going to be chewed up by teachers’ salaries,” Chireya said. Another resident said the budget has a focus on production, especi
