or she can abuse the powers which will be given in the Act if it were to be passed by Parliament. Instead, we must try to find each other as Zimbabwe. Try to find each other as a nation so that we can jointly address the root cause of the problems, why we are in this economic quagmire. We have the issue of corruption - this is what we must be looking at collectively so that we tackle that because you find that if we were to resolve the issues of corruption, you will find that everyone in Zimbabwe would have enough to eat. This afternoon, Hon. T. Mliswa was talking about issues of the welfare of Members of Parliament. If you look at the civil service in our country, you look at the down trend, you will find that the majority of our people are not even working and at the end of the day, you need to have a situation where you can find solutions for them. When you have got various non-governmental organisations, they are also providing employment. I know that there is an intention to target some of these non-governmental organisations and in the same way that in the past we actually did not proceed with the Non-Governmental Organisations Bill, I really exhort my colleagues to say that at this point in time, let us look at the interest of Zimbabwe. Future generations will frown and spit at our graves if we do not have that collective responsibility. Lastly, I will say that we must put our heads together. We must come together to build a new great Zimbabwe nation, I thank you. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

HON. T. MLISWA: T. MLISWA: Thank you Mr. Speaker Sir, I think when a country has so much polarization, there must be a voice of reason and it is only an independent Member who can be the voice of reason. Mr. Speaker Sir, yes, history is in two parts; there is good history and bad history. When we are here, we must talk about the good history that we want to create. We have Section 58 which talks about the freedom of association. We tend to have a knack for rushing using resources to come up with great blue prints, in this case it is the Constitution itself. The Constitution itself, most of the issues have never been attended to. We believe and must appreciate that the Constitution is for the good governance of the country. Mr. Speaker Sir, we live in a global village and Zimbabwe is on a re-engagement crusade and when we talk about a re-engagement crusade, we are re-engaging America and Europe, there are terms for that re-engagement. One of the terms which is clear on the template is the respect for human rights. The respect for human rights and rule of law becomes critical. The land reform was a noble cause, the Americans never opposed it, but the British opposed because it affected their kith and kin. The Americans opposed because of the human rights violations in terms of deaths, violence we all do not appreciate. With that in mind, an attitude was then built around and that was a build up to sanctions more than anything else. Why are you killing your own people politically, and the majority of the people who die are black. I have never seen a white or an Indian person dying out of political violence in this country but it is our own black people. Why do we have to allow our own when we successfully fought for this country and God and our ancestors gave us permission for blood to spill once because we wanted to liberate ourselves, not second, not third? Section 2 of the Bill is long, and when you see such a long clause, you then say really will people comprehend this law. You then go to Section 5 itself of the Bill, which really targets anything political, in fact it is political, when any private voluntary organisation that
