MDC MP says legislators supporting bond notes deserve to be killed by a firing squad

Debating the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) Amendment Bill in parliament recently, Glen Norah MP Webster Maondera said that the report presented in the house by parliament’s finance committee that many Zimbabweans were against the surrogate currency. He also said that legislators in support of bond notes deserve to be killed by a firing squad.

Said Maondera:

Mr. Speaker Sir, from the report that was given by the Committee that collected the views of the people, it looks like the majority of the people were against the bond notes. So, if I could have my own way, those people who are supporting bond notes deserve to be killed by a firing squad because they are going against the will of the people of Zimbabwe.

Despite Zanu PF law makers’ disapproval he stood his ground and said that he meant it in a metaphorical way. He also said that Zimbabwean leaders should respect the will of the people and stop the habit of bulldozing through unpopular policies.
