The president of the Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association, Peter Magombeyi, is reportedly refusing to speak to authorities thereby stalling debriefing efforts.
This was revealed by the Ministry of Information who posted on Twitter on Friday 20 September giving an update on the doctor who was found on Thursday night. The ministry said:
DR MAGOMBEYI UPDATE: Police efforts to debrief Dr Magombeyi and advance investigations are not making a headway so far as he prefers not to speak to the Authorities.

Magombeyi who went missing on Saturday 14 September was found in Nyabira, near Inkomo Army Barracks, about 35 kilometres north-west of Harare where his purported abductors reportedly dumped him.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe Human Rights Lawyers have claimed that authorities are denying Magombeyi access to a lawyer, which is a right enshrined in the constitution.
Team Pachedu, an opposition political activism online group, has also observed that Magombeyi has the right to remain silent or to speak and also to be informed of the consequences of speaking or remaining silent thereof.
Other commentators have however observed that Magombeyi does not need time to recollect his memory since he has already narrated to the media what transpired when he went missing.

The purpose of the so called debriefing is to provide government propaganda and misquote Magombeyi for mileage locally and internationally. This mafia is a truckload!! Magombeyi must talk to the after resting and getting legal advice from HIS LAWYER not Malaba!!!
