Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 22271, member: 2262"] MPs were upset about money issues. They said they might not approve the country's budget. But Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube fixed things by giving them more money and promising them places to live. One MP from Marondera, Caston Matewu, talked about their problems. He said hotels kept kicking MPs out because their bills weren't paid. This made the MPs look bad. Minister Ncube stepped up with extra cash. He added ZiG378 million for MPs' local work funds. He gave ZiG50 million for office stuff. The MPs also got ZiG72 million for gas money. The minister didn't stop there. He put aside ZiG250 million for new cars. He added another ZiG200 million for MPs' local offices and other needs. The best part for the MPs came last. Ncube said he would talk to another ministry about getting them all places to build homes. This made the MPs happy after their earlier complaints. [/QUOTE]
