Speaking during a public Finance Management meeting held in Harare on Wednesday, Mliswa urged political parties to develop criteria for the selection of MPs and councillors. Said Mliswa: ---------- Pindula is best experienced with the Android App. *Download APK here:* https://zero.pindula.co.zw/media/apps/apks/pindula23.apk _On Econet, Pindula does NOT use your data_ ---------- > People say I talk too much but honestly, you elect old men and women to represent you in Parliament. > Intellectual and professional capacity is key. So what I see in Parliament are old men and women sleeping instead of contributing to the national debate. > Because there have served in your political party for a very long time, its politics of patronage which is there, not politics of serving, emanating from the political parties. > And even you even ask the political parties that in MDC Alliance what is the criteria of selecting a councillor? They don’t have. In Zanu PF what are your criteria for selecting councillor? They don’t have. > The issue of selecting competent people should come from the political parties and have guidelines of what makes one qualify as a Councilor or Member of Parliament. Speaker of the National Assembly Speaker Jacob Mudenda has in the past voiced his concern over the poor quality of some parliamentarians. He said then: > The level of politicians that come to Parliament, there are few Biti’s (Biti MDC MP and Public Accounts Committee chairperson), who can articulate issues, there are few. > With all due respect economic literacy in my, Parliament is low, it’s very low. *Related:* *Mliswa Advises ED To Set Up Itai Dzamara Commission* *‘Kirsty Coventry Is Out Of Her Depth’ – Mliswa* *Mliswa Calls For VP Mohadi’s Sacking And Arrest* *MPs Temba Mliswa & Dexter Nduna Demoted* *More: NewZimbabwe.com* 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*
