The state owned mouthpiece, The Herald reported on Wednesday that the incumbent leader was in the process of naming his cabinet and end the political and economic situation which he has failed to deal with during the last ten years.
At a lunch to mark the official opening of the Parliament which did not live to it's expectation, President Mugabe said:

"We shall soon be setting up a Government but "I do not know when that day will come. I wish Tsvangirai well on that day," he said.

"I need managers. I want workers people who take people to work. I do not want people with own businesses. I want one business the people's business," he said to Zanu PF legislators and other dignitaries.

The MDC legislators snubbed the invitation by the Zanu PF government which had been booed in parliament earlier in the day.

MDC which now have a majority in parliament petitioned Robert Mugabe on Tuesday over his breach of the MoU signed last month under the watchful eye of SADC facilitator and South African President, Thabo Mbeki.

The petition which was also signed by MDC elected senators as well as House of representatives members accused Robert Mugabe of derailing the on-going talks by breaching the Memorandum of Understanding agreements.

The MDC argued that by officiating and opening the 7th session of parliament without the consent of his counterparts Arthur Mutambara of the breakaway MDC and Morgan Tsvangirai of the mainstream MDC, Mugabe had revealed to the people and the entire world that he is not concerned about the welfare of Zimbabweans.

Both the three leaders upon signing the MoU document agreed that the convening of Parliament and the appointment of a new cabinet should be effected by both leaders after the conclusion of the talks but because of Mugabe's reluctance to cede powers to Tsvangirai, everything has been abolished.
The parties shall not, during the subsistence of the dialogue, take any decisions or measures that have a bearing on the agenda of the dialogue, save by consensus.

Such decisions or measures include, but are not limited to the convening of Parliament or the formation of a new government read an excerpt of article 9 of the MoU

MDC-Tsvangirai formation also said the booing and jeering while Mugabe was delivering his speech was a clear message that it was illegal and in violation of the MoU adding that the legal leader responsible for the opening of the parliament should come out of the SADC mediated talks between the two parties.

The purported opening by Mugabe, the illegitimate usurper of the people's will as reflected on 29 March 2008, is illegal and of no force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the only person who can officially open this session of Parliament will be determined by the outcome of the on-going dialogue sponsored by SADC, read an excerpt of the petition

The appointment of Senators and governors by Mugabe is an affront to the MoU and a fraud on the people of Zimbabwe, which wrongfully and unlawfully was designed to affect and did affect the election of both the President and Vice President of the Senate, read the MDC in the petition.

As of Tuesday, a total of five MDC-Tsvangirai legislators had been arrested for various offences. Broadwin Nyaude, the MP for Bindura South, Mathias Mlambo, MP for Chipinge East and Highfield East MP Pearson Mungofa, Shuawah Mudiwa, MP for Mutare West and Eliah Jembere MP for Epworth.
