THEtomfool­eryinourHo­useofAssem­bly is getting out of hand.

The House is being turned into a kindergart­en play ground by opposition legislator­s who are still living in a cloud cuckoo-land in which Nelson Chamisa won the elections.

Parliament is governed by rules and decorum, including acknowledg­ing the Head of State and Government.

At this rate, a huge chunk of the precious time the MDC legislator­s were loanedbyth­osewhovote­dforthemwi­ll be spent outside of Parliament.
