HON. NYONI: We are quite aware that roads in rural areas are in a dilapidated state, particularly feeder roads used by our rural communities. These roads, of course, are used for transport purposes to transport materials and people.

HON. MUNOCHINZWA: I WAS ONCE A TEACHER, I KNOW HOW IT FEELS

HON. MUNOCHINZWA: Thank you, Mr Speaker Sir, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice on the motion on debate on the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President.

HON. MUNOCHINZWA: First of all, I want to thank my political party, the MDC-T that found it prudent for me to represent Masvingo Province in this august House. I am going to deal first and foremost with the issue of the education sector with special reference to the teachers.

HON. MUNOCHINZWA: I was a teacher for a long time. I appreciate how difficulties it is for one to be a teacher. Mr. Speaker Sir, teachers require decent food for them to be able to perform their duties well. They want to be smartly dressed as this befits their status.
