Agency Gumbo represents the kind of opposition Member of Parliament that every democracy needs. We are all Zimbabweans, but people hold different political views, ideologies and visions for the country. Those citizens deserve representatives who can clearly, intelligently and fearlessly articulate their positions in Parliament.
His contribution during yesterday’s debate on the controversial Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 demonstrated exactly what an effective opposition MP should do, scrutinise legislation, challenge those in power, and give voice to the concerns of the citizens he represents.
Agency Gumbo showed the importance of having opposition legislators who are informed, articulate and prepared to defend the constitutional principles and democratic values they believe in.
A healthy democracy is not built on conformity. It is strengthened when different viewpoints are robustly debated, tested and heard.
Gumbo’s contribution to the Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 debate was a reminder of the vital role that a strong and credible opposition representative plays in any democratic society.
I think heartbreak is having an opposition MP whom you actually spent the night waiting for ballot papers to arrive to vote for , standing tall in Parliament saying CAB3 Bho Zvekuti😭😭. But mother ….
GET YOUR HEADS EXAMINED…Some people really amaze me.
Do you honestly believe that if the Chamisa you constantly gaslight and vilify had agreed to be co-opted by ED, there would have been any need to hire that Chabangu as the manufactured face of a government-sponsored opposition?
Do you think they would have needed CAB3 to deal with the fallout from a disputed presidential election? Would CAB3 have been necessary?
Do you think they would have spent billions in taxpayers' money buying off individuals, organizations, and institutions, including some within the region, to discredit and destroy the very person they were supposedly working with? Why spend billions of taxpayers' dollars buying influence, recruiting allies, mobilizing institutions and giving cars, to destroy the credibility of someone who was supposedly on your side?
Why would an ally cause you sleepless nights.
Give us a break! Kwanai! Miswai! The logic simply does not add up. If someone is part of your project, you do not expend enormous resources undermining, isolating, and dismantling them. You do not wage a sustained campaign against an ally. The very existence of these efforts points to entrenched animosity.
We’re chalk and cheese, oil and water. We can’t mix! And I’m proud of that record! #TheNew
