Farai Dziva|Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi has justified the arrest and detention of opposition MDC A members.

Ziyambi was grilled in Parliament over the harassment and detention of MDC A MPs.

Ziyambi was responding to questions from MDC A MPs Amos Chibaya and Innocent about the detention of opposition members.

Ziyambi has indicated that according to the laws of the Republic of Zimbabwe arresting of suspects is a way of ensuring that accused persons will assist the state with useful information.

“For your own information people are are arrested because they are expected to furnish the State with relevant information. We cannot just arrest someone without a genuine reason for doing so,” claimed Ziyambi.

Chibaya and Gonese accused government agents of exercising their duties in a biased manner.
