The tempo in Parliament was raised to vibrating levels during this week’s questions without notice session when female parliamentarians took controversial Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Emmerson Mnangagwa to task on some sanitary-wear lessons.
The question posed to Mnangagwa, who is also the Vice President, was on female prisoners failing to access sanitary-wear.
“What is government policy on availing sanitary-wear to female prisoners,” asked Ms Priscilla Misirahirabwi Mushonga.
Mnangagwa did agree and alluded to the fact that while he understood the necessity of availing sanitary-wear to female prisoners, his macho side might not really comprehend the matter.
“If it is a necessity, it must be provided,” said Mnangagwa.
The highlight moment came when the female parliamentarians displayed a sample of a sanitary pad and when the minister also hit back on how it can be used, the whole august house collapsed in laughter.
Mnangagwa had taken the pad and vocalised saying: “I am grateful to the MPs who managed to show me panty pads. However, what they failed to do was to demonstrate how they are used.”
Meanwhile, Mnangagwa also told parliament that his ministry has finished realigning the new Electoral Act, adding that 11 bills are set to be tabled before the house this Thursday.
A leading NGO has been coordinating efforts to provide women from disadvantaged backgrounds with sanitary wear and they have invented a cheap underwear device for the purpose.[READ MORE – Zimbabwean Women Rescued with Sanitary Pad Device]
