Biti On His Way Back To Parliament Biti On His Way Back To Parliament
NINE-LIVES opposition legislator Tendai Biti and his colleagues are now sure to be heading back to parliament after People’s Democratic Party (PDP) proxy, Benjamin Rukanda has lost his appeal, with costs, to have the lawmakers booted out of the national assembly.
Two weeks ago, High Court judge Amy Tsanga ruled that Rukanda, who claimed to be secretary general of the near defunct faction of PDP, had no legal standing to recall the MPs who should be reinstated as lawmakers.
Surrogate Rukanda later filed an urgent chamber application at the High Court, blocking Justice Tsanga’s ruling nullifying the expulsion of the six MPs from Parliament.

ZENGEZA West legislator and MDC Alliance Deputy Chairperson Job Sikhala has accused Speaker Jacob Mudenda of ignoring a High Court judgment that ordered the reinstatement of Tendai Biti and five other recalled MPs.
Biti was recalled with five other MPs who were voted into the House of Assembly on behalf of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
The recalls were made after a factional secretary general of the PDP general Benjamin Rukanda had written to Mudenda last month recalling the MPs.
The affected MPs are; Willias Madzimure of Kambuzuma, Settlement Chikwinya – Mbizo, Kucaca Phulu – Nkulumane), Sichelesile Mahlangu – Pumula and Regai Tsunga – Mutasa South.
