According to the Independent newspaper, the Clerk of Parliament Austin Zvoma said the legislature was waiting for Mugabe to issue the necessary notices to open parliament. But his spokesperson George Charamba insisted Mugabe “can only open parliament at the invitation of the House’s administrative staff”, which had not happened yet.
The MDC-T Chief whip in parliament, Innocent Gonese, agreed with the parliamentary Clerk Austin Zvoma, insisting that “the ball lies squarely in Mugabe’s court”.
Can anyone name two, just two things this parliament has done in 2012. No wonder MPs like Professor Moyo has openly dismissed parliament as a waste of time!
