Moyo gets his vehicles back
Clerk of Parliament Austin Zvoma yesterday said re-elected Speaker of the House of Assembly Lovemore Moyo would soon get back the two official vehicles seized from him following his dethronement two weeks ago.
Moyo of MDC-T retained his post in elections on Tuesday after trouncing Zanu PF candidate Simon Khaya Moyo by 12 votes.
Two weeks ago, the Supreme Court nullified the MDC-T chairperson’s election as Speaker in 2008, ruling that the poll was flawed.
Soon after the ruling, Zvoma ordered Moyo to surrender his official Mercedes Benz S350 and Land Rover Discovery vehicles, saying he was no longer an official of Parliament.
Moyo was also ordered to vacate the $1 800 per month house rented for him by Parliament in the plush suburb of Greystone Park in Harare.
“As Speaker of the House of Assembly he is entitled to those vehicles but he was just elected yesterday (Tuesday) and I cannot work overnight,” Zvoma said.
“He will get the vehicles whether two hours or weeks later, but that does not stop the world from moving.”
It remained unclear, however, whether Moyo had vacated the Harare house yet since he had been given up to today to leave the residence.
No comment could be obtained from Moyo yesterday as both his mobile phones went unanswered.
