People who run for public office are at least understood to see the constitution-making process as part of their normal duties, because that’s at least the legislator part of their job. Despite that they reaped profits by renting out their cars which they brought using taxpayers’ money, they still show their highest level of ingratitude and contempt of the people of Zimbabwe by further claiming their allowances.
It is indeed disheartening to note that one seldom hears that there was a heated argument in parliament over basic education or health. But it is common to hear that legislators had a fierce hullabaloo over their own salaries which they want to see raised as much as possible.Zimbabwean politics, like elsewhere in Africa, is blood-drenched because public office means bringing bread to the table.
