Buhera South legislator Joseph Chinotimba said while his colleagues had academic degrees that helped them to get promoted he had his degree from God that helped him to win elections.
He said this during the debate on parliamentarians’ allowances arguing that some legislators had discouraged others from pushing their allowances to the fore.
He thanked new Justice Minister Happyton Bonyongwe for securing their allowances if he was the one that had pushed for them to be released.
“Some Hon. Members were discouraging us from pushing our welfare to the fore. I was told that I cannot be promoted. If the Hon. Members have their own degrees, let them be promoted. I have my degree from God so that I can be voted into office,” he said.
