Share Women's 60 Seats Among People With Disabilities, Youths And Women - Mliswa

Norton Legislator, Temba Mliswa has called for the amendment of the Costitution to allow for the sharing of 60 Parliamentary seats reserved for women amongst the youths, people living with disabilities and women on an equal basis.

Mliswa argues that the quota system is not yielding projected results hence the need to alter the constitution. Speaking to the NewZimbabwe.com, he said:

The Constitution must also cater for people with disability to also have seats. If you say 60 women are allocated these seats for free, lets remove 20 seats and allocate them to people living with disability.

These 60 women in parliament are doing absolutely nothing in Parliament. Take those seats and allocate 20 to youths and then allocate 20 to women. I am always on record saying this.

If we do this, the marginalised groups are taken care off.

But we are not doing that because the 60 women in parliament are not doing anything. So take those seats and let’s give these seats to people living with disability.

The former ZANU PF member also argued that the Minister responsible for disability issues has to be a person with disabilites. He added that this is largely because that minister will be in resonance with the plight of people with disabilities more than those who do not have any disability.
