MPs Request New Vehicles, Claim Current Ones Are Worn Out After Just A Few Months

Zimbabwean Parliamentary Portfolio Committee Chairpersons have requested the Treasury to provide them with new vehicles, arguing that the ones issued to them just a few months ago have become worn out from extensive use.

This request was made by Marondera Central MP Caston Matewu (CCC) during a review of the national budget for 2025.

Matewu said the existing vehicles have deteriorated, making it difficult for them to carry out their duties effectively. He said (via OpenParly):

All the parliamentary portfolio committee chairpersons agree with me that we are constantly on the move every week.

Currently, if you look at the distance covered by our vehicles, mine has already reached 40,000 kilometres because we are always travelling as chairpersons.

So, we were requesting that in the 2025 budget, you allocate funds for us to purchase second vehicles, but not expensive ones, so that we can efficiently perform our parliamentary duties as outlined in our Standing Orders.”

The current members of parliament were elected in August 2023 and received their vehicles at the beginning of this year.

In a post on X, Matewu said that he was merely conveying resolutions from a recent Chairpersons’ meeting. Said Matewu:

Just to make it clear, I was simply reading out resolutions from Chairpersons meeting who had requested a low cost vehicle for traveling across the country weekly in executing their duties, NOT giving my personal views; Personally I had already expressed my feelings.

These people knows very well that this is the end of their political carriers and they will never get back to Parliament so they want to loot as much as they can. 40000 km by our standards it's still new.

these so-called MPs are not in parliament to represent the masses but themselves and their pockets.more cars for what a car with 40.000 kms is relatively new, now we hear there is a budget being set aside for stands-does it mean mps dont have properties already ? musadaro vakomana Zimbabwe ayina kwa iri kuenda ne makaro akadai murikudya zvenyu moga isu ruzhinji tichitambura amuguti here.apa corruption yatekeshera munyika aah zvakaoma.

some of these so called Mps they have nothing that has brought change to the economy, the nation especially in local areas they represents. Instead of solving things their busy now looking after themselves and close family members. They should be given rewards or what soever based on what they have brought on the table and the communities should have a say in that who deserve it or not. These false promises they promised they havent fulfilled yet, while they want more. kujairira vanhu, the problem with these Mps they sleep on duty and wakeup during parliament section only to be day dreaming. A normal person who cares for the people and has people first on mind won't request such demands. A day is coming and closer it is approaching while many will wish they could have done better.

honorable matewu kana muchiita car breaking what more do you expect mot a mbishi chaiyo yamakapuwa pasina kana 6 months maakutoti yasakara . in hospitals there are aged machines which were procured in the sixties if I'm not mistaken and due to real time factors those machines needs replacements and then on expense of selfishness and greediness you personally express your heartless feelings by requesting a new vehicle within a period of a quarter on a year. Are you serving personal interests or you are representing your constituency. just imagine on a term if your wish is granted that means you will end up with 10 cars on a term . whats exactly your role in parliament , what are you actually providing or contributing which to a sense or a point makes you think that you deserve miracles on tax payer's moneies. I personally do not believe in your credentials. hamuko mp

That is the kind of MPs we have voted for who are so extravagant and careless in keeping vehicles. A new vehicle is said to be worn out in just a year sick. It is a shame to hear that the request is coming from CCC who we thought are the best to take this country forward.

What do you expect with the terrible road infrastructure in the country especially in the rural areas. Another thing, these guys don't handle those vehicles with care, a phenomenon which is also pretty rife among government employees. To fix this mess, AVM should be supported in investing in assembling bakkies, they should just import engines and the gearboxes but everything else should be made here just like they did with them buses in the 90s, using real steel and making the cars as tough as possible so as to withstand the terrible road conditions and bad car handling among the drivers, no more Fords and Isuzus for them Mps since they cannot handle those cars. The vehicles should just be simple, no modern trinkets just basic stuff, our industry would also benefit from such an initiative but as usual this government will not do that they will rather choose to continue importing vehicles than support local jobs just to make sure they drive the latest models using tax payer funds.

What is our obsession with vehicles in this country? Why not be motivated to buy your own, the habit of receiving free things has become a curse because value is not understood or appreciated, it is really pathetic.

Allow me to quote one American actor who has become a great American president: «The government does not solve our problems. The government is our problem.» I do not understand our government that only shrugs and says: «There is nothing we can do.» Not true. You can. You can take a sheet of paper and a pen and free your seats for those who think about the next generations and not about the next election! Do it and people will appreciate that. Your applause is pretty light…I guess not everyone likes what I’m saying? Too bad, since it’s not me, but the people who are saying that. our citizens are tired of the experienced, pompous system politicians who over the 28 years, have created a country of opportunities — the opportunities to bribe, steal and pluck the resources. We will build the country of other opportunities — the one where all are equal before the law and where all the rules are honest and transparent, the same for everyone. And for that, we need people in power who will serve the people. This is why I really do not want the president pictures in your offices, for the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.

To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish… Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
