In his futile attempt to explain his reasons for absconding parliament, Moyo recently told an on-line publication that since the formation of the unity government, Parliament had been reduced to rubber stamping government decisions.
This is cynically ironic coming from a Zanu PF MP whose party practically invented the hopelessly obsequious and mendacious attitude among its members who thrive on the mistaken belief that unanimously boolicking President Robert Mugabe constitutes national unity.
If parliament did, indeed, engage in robust debates on critical national issues during Zanu PF’s era, as he now wants us to believe, surely some of the disastrous policies that contributed to the virtual collapse of the economy could have been avoided.
Moyo tells us he feels it is below his dignity to debate issues of men’s sexuality or the rights of prostitutes, but appears to suffer selective amnesia on the blatant stupidity of national leaders who are led to believe, by a form two school drop-out that diesel fuel can be extracted from a rock.
If Moyo thinks he is so smart that he does not wish to be associated with the mediocrity of the present parliament and does not need the US$75 per diem, I am sure the door is wide open for him to quit.
Born Free Citizen, Harare.
