Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Citizen Coalition for Change (CCC) Member of Parliament has distanced himself from the controversial US$40 000 loans offered to lawmakers by the government.<\/p>\n

Addressing residents at a recently held community engagement meeting at Moffat Hall in Sakubva, Innocent Gonese, who represents Mutare Central in the National Assembly, said he doesn\u2019t know anything about the loans. Said Gonese:<\/p>\n

The issue of government loans has been topical of late. The truth of the matter is that I haven\u2019t seen any money and I don\u2019t know about anything concerning the US$40 000 housing loan.<\/p>\n

As you all know, I am a steadfast CCC member and as a party, we will sit down and discuss on the issue because I don\u2019t want to be caught offside.<\/p>\n

After coming up with a conclusion, we will come up with a statement that will be delivered to the public.<\/p>\n

Recent media reports indicate that MPs were offered US$40 000 housing loans with Ministers being offered US$500 000 and their deputies getting US$350 000.<\/p>\n

CCC leader Nelson Chamisa said that the loans were a bribe and warned his MPs not to \u201cdrink from the poisoned chalice\u201d as they will face the wrath of voters.<\/p>\n

However, CCC Chief Whip in Parliament Prosper Mutseyami said the loan was not a donation but \u201ca genuine part of the MPs\u2019 welfare.\u201d<\/p>\n
