In a heartfelt message addressed to the constituents of Mt Pleasant, Member of Parliament Fadzai Mahere provides an important update regarding the position of the CCC (Constitutional Conservatives Coalition) in Parliament.
The update revolves around the recent illegal recall of 15 MPs, senators, and councillors, and sheds light on the actions taken by the CCC to address this issue.
Recall Crisis and Fraudulent Letters:
Mahere condemns the recalls as illegal and reveals that they were executed through fraudulent letters authored by an unauthorized impostor who claimed a position within the CCC that he did not possess. Stressing the gravity of the situation, she points out the imposter's unauthorized actions and the need to rectify the damage caused to the party and its elected representatives.Ignored Correspondence and Constitutional Violations:
Mahere further highlights the Speaker of Parliament, Jacob Mudenda's, disregard for a letter sent by CCC President Nelson Chamisa a month prior to the fraudulent recalls.![]() |

She alleges that Mudenda not only ignored Chamisa's letter, which outlined how parliamentary business should be conducted on behalf of the CCC, but also colluded with the impostor, thus undermining the will of the people who had cast their votes in support of CCC candidates.
Point of Order and Assault on MPs:
When the CCC's Chief Whip raised a point of order regarding the constitutionality of the illegal recalls, Mahere reveals that the ensuing debate was abruptly curtailed, leading to the involvement of armed riot police. Shockingly, she notes that members of parliament were assaulted and forcibly ejected from the House, a clear violation of their constitutional rights.Principled Decision to Disengage:
In response to the relentless assault on the will of the people and the stolen election, Mahere explains that the CCC has made the principled decision to disengage from parliamentary business until the illegal conduct is addressed. This decision, although difficult, aims to protect CCC elected officials from being unjustly removed against the will of their constituents.Protecting the People's Vote:
Emphasizing the sanctity of the people's vote, particularly in the face of repressive conditions during the flawed election, Mahere justifies CCC's decision to engage in Parliament despite this. However, she argues that the blatant attack on the people's will cannot be left unchallenged, prompting the CCC's firm stance against the constitutional crisis that has unfolded.Dear Mt Pleasant Constituency,
