LONDON - The Attorney General is seeking the extradition of MDC-T treasurer-general, Roy Bennett According to the Zanu (PF) website, the Zimbabwe Guardian, Bennett could also lose his Senate seat for violating Parliamentary rules forbidding absenteeism for 21 consecutive days.
The former Chimanimani legislator is accused of saying in media interviews that Justice Bhunu was totally compromised in handling his case as a judge because he had been given a farm seized from a former white farmer as part of Zanu (PF)s political patronage.
The MDC-T met over the weekend to map the way forward. Should Bennetts seat be declared vacant, he will become the second MDC-T lawmaker since 2000 to suffer that fate; the first being former Zengeza legislator, Tafadzwa Musekiwa, who lost his seat in 2003 after being absent from Parliament for 21 consecutive days.
Musekiwa absconded to the United Kingdom.
