MPs flats 'dilapidated'

Clerk of the National Assembly, Enerst Mpofu, said on Friday that it is not only the parliamentary houses that are dilapidated, but the parliament buildings also. 

He said they regularly carry out minor maintenance but there is need for major repairs.  
"We initially thought that the whole maintenance would cost around P15 million but we have decided to engage the services of a consultant, the Department of Building and Engineering Services (DBES), to assess the whole situation and give advice," he said.
