HON. DAVID TEKESHE: IN 2008 MANY PEOPLE WERE KILLED NO ONE WAS ARRESTED
HON. DAVID TEKESHE: Thank you Mr Speaker Sir. This is the third year and I am happy to be able to debate on this SONA. It was not coming out all this time. Mr Speaker Sir, I want to speak very few words.
@HTekeshe : The President spoke about devolution and it must include Members of Parliament and councillors. It must not be done by councils only without MPs because we are the custodians of the people. We move in different areas.
@HTekeshe : In my area, we do not even understand how the devolution funds were managed. So we are
appealing that the devolution issue include Members of Parliament, even for us, to just censor for free, we do not mind.
HON. RUTH MABOYI: LETS ADDRESS TEACHERS CONCERNS
HON. RUTH MABOYI: Hon. Speaker Sir, I am here to add my voice on the President’s speech on his SONA. He mentioned quite a lot of things in his address, but I want to speak about COVID first. @WiPSUZim@GMCZimbabwe@WCOZIMBABWE
HON. MABOYI: All I am saying is the President did a great job even though we did not have much as a country, he played a major role making sure it does not impact greatly in our country, taking into congnisance that we did not have enough resources.
HON. MABOYI: He made sure that people remained safe by staying at home. This helped us so much as a country to make sure that COVID19 does not give us great challenges.
HON. PETER MOYO: PEOPLE WHO ULULATE FOR @edmnangagwa ARE THE ONES WHO ARE CORRUPT
HON. PETER MOYO:I would like to add my voice on the
SONA which was delivered by President for us to know what to discuss. I just want to dwell on the issue he pointed out with regards to corruption
HON. MOYO: The President alone cannot fix
this problem. It needs all of us to put our heads together and make sure that we defeat this disease which has arisen in our country.
HON. MOYO: Those people who surround the President sometime ululate when he arrives & shower him with praises saying he is a good man & he has done this & that. If you look around, most of these people are
corrupt. They are the ones who are instigating corruption in this country.
HON. MATHEW NYASHANU: Thank you Mr Speaker Sir. I
would like to start by thanking you Mr Speaker Sir for according me the opportunity to support the speech by His Excellency during his SONA in this august House.
HON. NYASHANU: Let me also commend Hon. Togarepi
and Hon. Mhona who also debated in support of the President’s Speech. I would like to appreciate his words which were so encouraging which are going to pave way for development.
HON. NYASHANU: Let me also thank all the Hon. Members who have supported the President’s
Speech during the SONA. The first issue was of corruption, the constitutional issues and children’s issues.
HON. MASHAKADA: Thank you very much. I just want to follow up with the Minister on question of debt repayment. I want to know whether the Minister is following the Lima Process or he has revised it & come up with a new debt repayment approach
HON MASHAKDA: Following that, I would also want to hear your views, whether you have considered the HIPC route to lessen the debt to the country. Thank you.
@MthuliNcube : I want to thank the Member for the question. We have adjusted the Lima Process for the following reasons.
@MthuliNcube : First of all the Lima Process involved specific country and I do not know whether I am allowed to mention it because I do not know whether that country’s involvement was official or not back then.

@MthuliNcube : He asked about the medium-term policy which basically is a debt accumulation or debt containment strategy.
