Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZANU PF Members of Parliament (MPs) are reportedly unhappy over the government\u2019s alleged failure to prioritise their welfare, while it is awarding cabinet ministers hefty packages.<\/p>\n

Speaking on condition of anonymity, some ZANU PF MPs on Wednesday told NewsDay that they were being treated unfairly by President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s government. One of the MPs said:<\/p>\n

As MPs, we are suffering, we are being treated unfairly, but our ministers are living lavishly.<\/p>\n

They are given houses worth almost half a million, they are not being asked to move out of their hotels and it\u2019s very unfair.<\/p>\n

Most of the ministers are just technocrats, they don\u2019t even know how to mobilise support for President Mnangagwa going into the 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

MPs were recently kicked out of hotels for non-payment of bills by Parliament, with others yet to get their service vehicles.<\/p>\n

Another ZANU PF MP told NewsDay that they won\u2019t speak about their welfare for fear of being branded traitors. Said the MP:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very unfortunate that as Zanu PF MPs, it is now difficult for us to speak about our welfare in Parliament because we will be seen as traitors.<\/p>\n

However, ZANU PF chief whip Pupurai Togarepi said he was not aware of the MPs\u2019 grievances. He told NewsDay:<\/p>\n

I am not aware of any such disgruntlement from ZANU PF MPs. What I am aware of is our government\u2019s effort to improve the incomes and benefits of the civil servants, including those of MPs.<\/p>\n

MPs, like all other people, are entitled to an income of their wish and they can raise their concerns honourably through appropriate parliamentary structures.<\/p>\n

I am not aware of ministers\u2019 benefits or how they compare with our MPs.<\/p>\n

The duty of every ZANU PF member is to campaign for President Emmerson Mnangagwa and I want to thank our legislators for taking their deployment in their constituencies seriously.<\/p>\n
