MDC Alliance organising secretary Amos Chibaya says all
party MPs recently recalled by the Thokozani Khupe-led MDC-T remain resolute
and unshaken by the purges.
Speaking to The Standard yesterday, Chibaya also urged
other party MPs to remain loyal to leader Nelson Chamisa emphasising the need
to respect the people who voted them into Parliament by resisting to join
Khupe.
“The unprecedented move by Khupe and cabal to recall us
from Parliament will not deter our commitment to the people’s struggle,”
Chibaya said.
“This cowardly act defies logic and defeats the democratic
will of the people who clearly voted for their preferred representatives in
Parliament in the 2018 elections.
“We, however, remain resolute and committed to the people’s
struggle and shall not sell our souls for a few pieces of silver. The
liberation of the Zimbabwean masses remains our guiding compass in the
democratic struggle until we deliver a people’s government under President
Advocate Nelson Chamisa.”
Chibaya, together with 12 others, were recalled by Khupe
from Parliament after they insisted on laying their allegiance on Chamisa and
refused to follow the Supreme Court ruling that adjudged Khupe the new interim
leader of MDC-T.
“I would like to urge all MDC Alliance Members of
Parliament, recalled or not, to remain vigilant and work hard in their
respective party portfolios and constituencies. These sideshows meant to derail
the people’s movement will pass,” said Chibaya.
“We will take the fight to the enemy and will never get
tired. Ours is a conviction to fight for good governance and constitutionalism
in Zimbabwe, a fight to eradicate corruption, a fight for better remuneration
and respect for our civil servants, a fight for affordable and accessible basic
healthcare and education services.
“It is never about selfish individual interests, but the
livelihoods of all Zimbabweans.”
He also thanked the people of Mkoba “for the unwavering
support and solidarity you have given me throughout the years I have served and
represented our beloved constituency in Parliament”. Standard
