Zim MPs Stuck In Harare Hotels As Broke Govt Fails To Pay Allowances

Members of the Zimbabwean house of Parliament have reportedly turned into beggars in Harare after the august House failed to secure fuel for them to return to their respective constituencies.
Reports claim that the most affected were rural legislators who depended on parliamentary allowances to travel to and from their constituencies.
Senators told Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa yesterday during question time that most of them have been holed up in hotels while waiting for Parliament to secure fuel coupons for them to return to their constituencies.
Manicaland Senator Keresencia Chabuka (MDC-T) said the situation was dire as they had turned into a laughing stock not only while attending Parliament, but even back in their constituencies.
Mnangagwa promised the legislators a meeting with President Mugabe today to discuss their welfare.
