It is not good enough and we as Parliament must reject that. MDC Zengeza West MP Job Sikhala concurred with Biti’s sentiments. Sikhala said > We are expecting our ministers to be present. Today, we only have the Leader of the House and a Minister of State who in terms of the Constitution cannot answer questions from members of parliament. > Why are ministers not taking parliamentary business seriously? The leader of the House cannot answer all the concerns of MPs. > Several MPs have raised this concern and it seems ministers are not taking parliamentary business seriously. > Who are we going to ask questions today because the front bench is empty? *Related:* *More: NewZimbabwe* itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
