Gutu(ZimEye)-Gutu Central Constituency legislator, Honourable Oliver Chirume has dismissed media reports that he was arrested on domestic violence charges as baseless and unfounded.
Honourable Chirume last week described recent media claims that he had been arrested for allegedly assaulting his wife Eunice Chifeva as sensational and devoid of truth. He was referring to a report published by a local weekly newspaper that claimed the legislator had bashed his wife and was later arrested.
“There are people who are trying to use the media to black list me but I will not be deterred by such reports. I was shocked to read that I had been arrested and that is unfounded. I know that my political enemies are determined to demonize me. The article is meant to create the impression that I am a social renegade. I will not focus on stories based on heresy, “said Honourable Chirume.
Honourable Chirume, who is also the MDC youth chairman for Masvingo Province said he was aware there were people who were battling to tarnish the image of the party.
“By portraying me as a hooligan it would create an impression that the MDC is full of reckless individuals and social rebels –yet that is not the case. I am too used to these cheap political moves. Last year some people alleged that I was hatching a plan to petrol bomb the 41 army barracks in Gutu.It is all part of well calculated efforts to destabilize our march towards democratic change. I never assaulted my
wife and I will not do that. We are a party of excellence and that should be reflected all the time, “said Honourable Chirume.

Insulting Cde Chimoto instead of attending to the issues he has raised shows how insane and mentally challenged most of you mdc supporters are. Why is it always a lie whenever an mdc member is accused of wrong doing? We have no saints in this country and as human beings, we make mistakes and we should be human enough to admit of our shortcomings. I was impressed the other day when Tsvangirai on a certain interview admitted that he sometimes errs because he is human. And the Zimeye always publish what they think is good only. Good journalism would have been that of seeking interviews from the wife, neighbours or even children.

Shamwari, kurova kana kusarova mukadzi wako isu hatina basa nazvo. We are only worried with the amount of damage control mdc usually get from the zimeye. I mean if the reporter was genuinely trying to establish the truth, he would have had the guts as well of seeking comment from the wife of the MP as well.
