Mliswa criticises Grace Mugabe for protecting corrupt ministers

Norton legislator Temba Mliswa criticised first lady Grace Mugabe for interfering with executive decisions and protecting corrupt ministers in the process.

Said Mliswa:

The First Lady cannot interfere with executive decisions, and where does she get the powers to stop an investigation of Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo? And with all due respect the Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa was very clear to say that the First Lady has no executive powers. When I go into the Constitution, I do not see any section which confers executive powers on the First Lady. The First Family has no will to deal with corruption because we see luxurious cars being bought when we have no foreign currency in the country. Posh cars worth $5,4 million have been bought and we need to be sensitive to the plight of Zimbabweans because you cannot buy expensive cars when there is no foreign currency.
