We understand that other countries such as Russia and Australia have closed their borders to Chinese nationals to avoid the spread of the virus,\u201d said the Chikanga-Dangamvura MP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is Zimbabwe still allowing Chinese visitors in the country? This issue needs to be addressed as soon as yesterday. So can we have a ministerial statement on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Health Minister Moyo is expected to issue a ministerial statement on the coronavirus Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, MDC\u2019s Manicaland Proportional Representative MP Lynnette Karenyi told Parliament that it was disturbing that domestic workers were earning as little $168 per month following the gazetting of the wages by government last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want the Minister of Labour (Paul Mavima) to come and explain this anomaly. These people are mothers and fathers and they have children who go to school,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSurely $168 is nothing when we look at the current pricing of goods and services. Can the minister come and give us a ministerial statement on the matter this week,\u201d Karenyi said.<\/p>\n<p>On another note, Zanu PF Mberengwa East MP Marko Raidza queried why the Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council\u2019s (ZIMSEC) had hiked examination for \u2018O\u2019 Level subjects by 1 166%, from $15 to $190.<\/p>\n<p>The MP demanded that Minister of Education, Cain Mathema be involved in the pegging of new examination fees as most children would not be sitting for these exams this year due to the steep increases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MDC Parliamentary Chief Whip, Prosper Mutseyami has questioned why the government is still allowing visitors from China to enter Zimbabwe in light of the calamitous coronavirus outbreak, which has killed over a thousand people in the troubled Asian country.
