What Mnangagwa told Parliament about corruption, Mphoko and Jonathan Moyo

HON. P. D.  SIBANDA: Thank you Madam Speaker. I wish I could also speak in Ndau or in Shona but none the less, let me put my supplementary question in English.  Hon. Vice President, you have properly put it that everyone is subject to the law including the Hon. Vice President, yourself and your colleague.  However, it is on record Hon. Leader of the House that Hon. Mphoko, your co-Vice President has been interfering into processes of trying to address where there is suspicion of a crime having been committed.  There is an issue of Avondale Police Station where he physically and personally went and had to order the release of suspects that were under police custody.  Is there any prospect that under those circumstances, law enforcement agencies will play their role properly when they know that the Executive hierarchy, including that of the Vice President can simply go and stop the actions that they would have taken?  Thank you.

* HON. MNANGAGWA: Hon. Speaker, I would want to reiterate and share the knowledge for the benefit of this august House.  He said it is on record but he did not mention which record but we believe that there is record.  However, if he could have further stated which record it could have been better for us.  The current position is that two things could be done.  You as an individual Member, are entitled to go to the law enforcement agency and say the law has been broken.  If the police have seen that there is a law that was broken, the law enforcement agency will take its course.
