Government officials have evaded corruption allegations that persistently plague the executive, amidst reports of unexplained expenditures linked to the awarding of tenders to allies of the ruling party.
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission allegedly granted a tender to ex-con and Zanu PF member Wicknell Chivayo to supply election materials for the 2023 plebiscite.
After being quizzed by Citizens Coalition for Change senator Sengezo Tshabangu recently in the upper house, Minister of State for Presidential Affairs in the Office of the President and Cabinet, Lovemore Matuke dismissed these allegations. "I thought we could research more on that because there is nothing like that which happened. It never came in the public domain, those are simply allegations," said Matuke.
"As far as I am concerned, I feel that question is a specific question which might require time to go back and research more on it and maybe if we do our findings, then we can properly respond to that matter.
