Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Mbizo legislator Settlement Chikwinya says Vice President Constantino Chiwenga should be reminded not to bring his militaristic nature to the civilian space.<\/p>\n

According to Chikwinya, Chiwenga who doubles as Minister of Health and Child Care should not be allowed to command health workers as if they are in the military.<\/p>\n

The Mbizo legislator argued that Chiwenga had militarised the Health Services Amendment Bill. Speaking in the National Assembly, Chikwinya said:<\/p>\n

The Bill promotes discrimination. As I was seated and listening to the presenter on behalf of the Committee, you can hear the militants in this Bill.<\/p>\n

You can hear the militarism of the Honourable Minister coming out now in a civil service space. He is trying to exercise his natural militaristic experience which he had in the army, trying to bring it to a civil space \u2013 it cannot be.<\/p>\n

Someone must be able to advise the Honourable Minister that he is now a civil servant leader and not a military leader. He used to be, and we respect him so much with whatever he did as a military leader, but he cannot bring military dictates to a civil space.<\/p>\n

You cannot order nurses and doctors not to go on strike. They are workers and they must be able to express themselves.<\/p>\n

He said it was wrong for Chiwenga to order nurses and doctors not to be able to join a trade union or negotiate their salaries as if they were soldiers.<\/p>\n

He said if the Parliament is for the people, then it must listen to the concerns that were raised during the public consultations on the Bill.<\/p>\n

The Bill is being crafted as several healthcare givers are leaving the country citing poor remuneration and working conditions.<\/p>\n
