She wrote:

*Good morning @ParliamentZim,*

1. As the institution that’s meant to check and balance the executive, champion accountability and be a paragon of transparency, may you please publicize Senate President Mabel Chinomona’s conditions of service?

 

2. Are you aware that the Auditor-General revealed in her report that US$372,260 was used to renovate Chinomona’s home? Is such expenditure rational, let alone justified?

 

3. Why is public money being used to buy Chinomona pillows? Why can’t she buy her own pillows? What kind of pillow costs US$130?

 

4. What sort of curtains cost US$64,000?

 

5. How many vases and chandeliers did she purchase to rack up a bill of US$57,874?

 

6. Can you please give us the names of the suppliers that were used for this “renovation”?

 

7. When this money was disbursed, was there no concern that the invoices were inflated?

 

8. Why were procurement laws violated in these purchases? Is the Senate President above the laws that @ParliaZim enacts?
