The Central Intelligence Organization (CIO) has been instructed to arrest newly elected MDC Members of Parliament on their way to parliament to prevent the MPs from being sworn in and the MDC from winning the powerful speaker position,sources told Metro.

State agents in Masvingo,Midlands and Manicaland are watching the newly elected parliamentarians round the clock to prevent them from leaving their constituencies bound for the capital.

Three Members of parliament-elects in Manicaland and three in Masvingo have gone into hiding.

In Masvingo state agents want to seize Heya Shoko of Bikita West,Edmore Marima of Bikita East and Maradza Tachiona of Masvingo West. In the ZANU PF stronghold of Mashonaland Central province,CIO agents want to abduct Shepherd Mushonga of Mazowe Central and Bindura South’s Bedneck Nyaude.

The election of a house speaker is likely to be the first order of business for parliament and the three main political parties ZANU-PF and both formations of the MDC are fielding candidates for the position.
The results of that vote by the 210 members of the house of assembly could set the tone for a parliament in which the combined MDC commands a majority.

The MDC faction led by Arthur Mutambara has confirmed that it will put forward Paul Themba Nyathi who in 2005 and in March this year lost parliament re-election bids as its own candidate for speaker.

Unconfirmed reports say the mainstream MDC led by Morgan Tsvangirai will nominate its national chairman, Lovemore Moyo,MDC-Matobo South,other names being floated around are former Zanu PF politburo member Dumiso Dabengwa,Welshman Mabhena, Pauline Mpariwa,MDC-Mufakose., and its National integration Secretary Gordon Chavunduka.

Fears of factionalism in ZANU PF between the Mnangagwa faction and Mujuru faction could open the door for a deal between Mutambara’s MDC and ZANU-PF, in which ZANU PF might seek to secure the post of deputy speaker – and court the MDC faction as a coalition partner by backing Nyathi.

Souces say ZANU PF will read the mood, but it has nominated its National Chairman John Nkomo, other candidates are Chen Chimutengwende, Oppah Muchinguri, Patrick Chinamasa,Sikhanyiso Ndlovu and Chris Mushowe.

It is still not clear if Mugabe will also appoint a cabinet,but legal experts say once a parliament is convened current Ministers must step down.

    Scarface, it appears u need to be guided accordingly. Infact, Zanoids, are hopeless hence their attempts to frastruate MDC.that ill move is murder: infact, praising undeserved is scandal in disguise. The ordinary peace loving Zimbos have long been denied their quest for social justice, The CIOs, are, but yellow dogs, how can a reasonable person be used like these mugabe’s yellow dogs. Shame on u. But time will come, without trouble, nothing can be successful. All the actions by Zanoids, will actually make MDC a more determined party. Guys Lets not lookback. Free Zimbabwe is around the corner.

    Scarface,do not forget to arrest the MDC MP’s going to the Capital,you stupid CIO-I thought I should remind you incase the MP’s evade your sight.If the MP’s that you’ve been assigned to arrest or kill make it to Parliament then that could be the last time we ever read your nonsense because your Master (BOB) will eliminate you.So if I were you i’ll leave the computer now and get work (Dirty Work).

    remember the lies about JOC guys having meetings with ALQAIDA’S ASSOCIATES in bulawayo during the run up to the elections? How many more of your lies can we take.The fact remains the same just in case you forget-mugabe told you morgan will never rule this country. mukakanganwa nyaya iyoyo then matorasika zvedi. Maybe try mutambara-he might stand a chance. Zva morgan please forget. Even SADCC haidi benzi iri -they are just too polite to say it.

    i am fed up of morgan—-vakomana all those powers mugabe had passed on to him and he still doesnt see sense. make decisions that help zimbabweans and not ones to please your monster masters. zvemadisnyongoro hatidi. you will sign that document. if not then you can keep your stinking foreign aid that you are using as bait in the deal. we will survive on coupons if thats what it has to get down to. independence yakauya in 1980 and so we will die protecting it. you were serving tea to the white man in the mines and nhasi you are still at it. why do you always want white people to tell you what to do? Bennet-Eddy cross-Gordon brown-George bush.pupeets who front for whites like odinga have also joined in.misanganiswa sana kharma we botswana are also joining in.

    well tell you what-if you are waiting for the country to crush uchaona moto. it will never happen. we will soldier on with coupons-and our batter deals until the end of time.keep your foreign aid in your pocket.but the time you get to sign that document you will be so old and other leaders in the mdc will pop up. iwe uri benzi mupfanha-everyone knows that. its only a matter of time before Biti challenges you for the leadership post. your demands are becoming ridiculous..you did not win any election with the required majority.. you got less than 50% so dont act like you own zimbabwe.those people only voted because of sanctions and not because you have come up with some amazing policies that will rejuvinate the economy. Do you have any policies at all? Dont hold the country to ransom with your foreign aid carrot-one day they will turn on you.

    in case you forget the main issues——-land-indeginisation-empowerment-51% ownwership of reources by locals….that includes white locals too in case you dont know.one day you will realise your fatal mistakes-the deal that was put on the table was doable. carry on being greedy—we know how greedy you are. those western masters of yours will turn on you soon if you fail to produce. look at georgia as an example—-what happened to all those promises from bush ? he promised to stand by georgia this and that—those are just stories morgan. put zimbabwe first.

    Listen to yourself you fool – if mugabe had put Zimbabwe first we would not be in the position we are in now – perhaps yes Morgan needs to be more forceful but he is trying to do the right thing. Zimbabweans should stop waiting to be rescued and stand up and rescue themselves – each has a choice – to be an ostrich or to act – we cannot rely on help from outside – SADC are corrupt and is now led by mbeki who is bob’s bitch and the rest of the international community is too afraid to assist lest they be dragged into another black/white arguement (always the weak african leaders first arguement! We will take your money and wear your pith helmets in our ceremonies but of course hate the west – LOL mugabe is more west than westerners themselves).

    Come on Zimbabwe – what do you want?
