Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Norton legislator, Temba Mliswa (Independent) on Thursday expressed frustration with the Nelson Chamisa-led MDC Alliance\u2019s perceived \u201cdocility\u201d in the face of recalls of its MPs and councillors, says he feels no sorrow for their plight.<\/p>\n

Mliswa recently raised a motion in Parliament to debate a constitutional provision allowing political parties to recall elected officials. He said:<\/p>\n

Recently, I moved a motion in Parliament to debate the Constitution\u2019s section 129(1)(k). It is the part responsible for the incessant recalling of elected members.<\/p>\n

However, it was disturbing and unfortunate that only (Dzivarasekwa MP) Hon (Edwin) Mushoriwa had the guts to debate it.<\/p>\n

As an independent MP, the section has no relevance to me. However, their docility warrants that there is no mercy for their plight.<\/p>\n

They should have the resolve in their party. They have shown none and I will close the debate in Parliament.<\/p>\n

Mliswa is pushing for constitutional changes so that parties do not have unilateral powers to recall MPs or councillors.<\/p>\n

He said the electorate should have the responsibility to choose or recall elected officials and that the Constitutional Court should have the final say if a party wanted to recall a sitting MP. Added Mliswa:<\/p>\n

Citizens should be involved. Members should not be sitting ducks but should have opportunities to respond to requests for recalls.<\/p>\n

Imagine how many recalls have been done under section 129(1)(k) and the amount of money wasted.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a waste of taxpayer\u2019s money which could have gone to various developmental programmes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, MDC-T leader Douglas Mwonzora has recalled over 40 MDC Alliance MPs and more than 80 councillors after a Supreme Court ruling in March last year declared Chamisa as illegitimate leader of the opposition party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
