Minister Daniel Garwe defended the government's move to give Parliament members free land. He called the residential stand handouts a legal benefit matching perks for civil servants and war veterans. Lawmakers have received plot allocations across several regions since 2013.
Garwe highlighted that they distributed 188 stands in Goromonzi and smaller numbers in other areas like Bulawayo and Beitbridge. The recent round saw 70 new residential plots given out around Harare, Goromonzi, and Zvimba. He stressed that these allocations follow constitutional guidelines about citizen housing access.
Critics argue the distributions seem unfair during Zimbabwe's housing crunch. The minister pushed back hard against corruption claims. He promised continued public updates about the ongoing land allocation program for elected officials.
