Parliament has sued at least 19 former MPs for failing to pay vehicle loans extended to them by parliament. The legislators were loaned $364 000 in total to purchase Ford Ranger double cab vehicles. The money was supposed to be repaid from the legislators’ seating allowances, but unfortunately for the MPs, they were fired before they could repay the loans.
Some of the MPs being sued and their amounts outstanding are as follows:
- Kudakwashe Bhasikiti $33 200
- Olivia Muchena $32 000
- Gorden Moyo $28 318
