Sharp-tongued legislator, Temba Mliswa has urged parliament to speedily resolve the boycott stance taken by MDC Alliance MPs, telling Speaker Jacob Mudenda Zanu PF MPs were too weak to pose serious policy-related questions to ministers.
Speaking in parliament Tuesday, the independent lawmaker for Norton said in the absence of MDC MPs, he was now the only remaining legislator who could raise serious matters in the house.
MDC Alliance MPs recently took a stand to indefinitely 'disengage' from all parliamentary business in protest over the expulsion of four senior party officials who were serving legislators.
In a damning dismissal of former Zanu PF colleagues, Mliswa pleaded with Mudenda to resolve the MDC absenteeism issue to restore vibrant debate in the house.
On Mliswa's concerns he was now left alone to keep the executive on its toes, Mudenda urged the one time Zanu PF legislator to wait for this Wednesday to see if ruling party MPs had the spine to confront party bosses who now occupy ministerial jobs.
