NATIONAL Assembly speaker Jacob Mudenda has warned MPs against not attending Parliament business urging them to enact laws that help Zimbabweans improve their lives.
Speaking during an induction seminar of the 10th Parliament in Harare, on Monday, Mudenda told MPs not to"remain mute" as was the case in the 9th Parliament where some legislators clocked 5 years without making any contribution.
"We are here because of the trust bestowed on us by the Zimbabwe's electorate. Thus, the electorate entrusted us to be bearers of a torch that casts its radiant light upon the aspirations, hopes and dreams of the Zimbabwean people in their search for consummated prosperity," Mudenda said. Mudenda reminded the members that to be Honourable meant being driven by a profound sense of duty towards the nation and its people and to"acquaint yourselves with the various legislative frameworks that fall under our purview through our Standing Committees, the engine of our Parliamentary processes.
He also called upon the MPs to be mindful that the measure of their success will not be found solely in the laws they pass or the policies they shape but in the country's prosperity.
