MP’s criticized for requesting cash withdrawal limit exemptions

The Zimbabwe Youth Forum has criticized Members of Parliament who sought to be exempted from the Z$20 000 cash withdrawal limit imposed by the central bank.

The MP’s argued during a 2 day parliamentary induction course that began on Monday that they needed to use their personal money to assist their constituencies in times of grief. The call by the MPs to be given a privilege to withdraw more money than ordinary people leaves us to think that MP’s are now representing their personal interests at the expense of the electorate,’ the Youth Forum statement read. They argued that MP’s should have instead called for a complete overhaul of the financial system rather than piecemeal concessions to special interest groups or individuals.
