Chombo Must Be Wishing He Was Joram Gumbo
29 December 2017
Kennedy Kaitano | Jailed former Minister Ignatius Chombo must be wishing that he had been Jorum Gumbo. Not that I condone what Chombo has done to ruin Zimbabwe. He deserves what is happening to him. Anyone corrupt must be dealt with according to the law, and anyone suspected of corruption must be investigated accordingly.
While President Emmerson Mnangagwa has vowed to deal with corruption, the only trouble we have with him is that he seems to be selectively punishing the thieves, targeting those with links to the former First Lady Grace Mugabe, while turning a blind eye to corrupt activities by members of the Lacoste faction within Zanu PF.
Joram Gumbo reportedly ordered the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (Caaz) board to approve the awarding of a 28 million euro (US$33,3 million) tender to Indra Sistemas and Homt Espana SA for the finance, supply and installation of an airspace management system without going to tender, but he is one of the ministers Mnangagwa chooses to take with him to South Africa on his official visit to that country. The report about Gumbo ordering the Civic Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe to award a project without going to tender warrants that Gumbo be arrested. Knowing as we do, an arrested person is innocent until proven guilty, so there wasn’t anything amiss for Mnangagwa to order the arrest of Gumbo who then had to prove himself innocent in a court of law.
Jorum Gumbo was one of Comrade Mnangagwa’s favorites as evident from his being part of the President’s first trip out of the country as head of state. He is one of the untouchables. So how will Comrade Mnangagwa end corruption when he turns a blind to it when it involves members of his Lacoste fanction?
It seems Comrade Mnangagwa is doing the same thing as his mentor Mugabe.
Zimbabweans must reject this and vote Zanu PF out in the next elections.

An arrest is made after initial investigation points to a criminal case you do not arrest to investigate
The problem is there does not appear to be an alternative to zanupf. Do you see it? I am sorry I do not. To say I am disappointed by the opposition is an under statement.How did they end p so disorganised? I do not believe I used to see hope in them
I agree that Chamisa might still be thin on the ground and that Tsvangirai might be a liability to the fiscus but my friend, only Tsvangirai can upset Zanu pf. Noone else has the capacity to do that. I have nothing against Chamisa, he is actually of my age but guys let’s face it, running an African country is different from running a law firm.
I also agree with the writer that if Mnangagwa fails to impress in the next six months, that’s the end of ZanuPf.
sarah mahoko very dumb indeed. what mood are reading.real change is coming.
Read the country mood. Democratic reforms are no longer a trump card for the opposition. Zanupf is now more popular . Reforms or not MDCs will lose. You do not have a presidential candidate. Tsvangirai sickly and dying. Ka Chamisa does not impress clueless
Well said Comrade……point noted and taken Sir…… Zanupf MUST GO just ensure democratic reforms are implemented before elections please !
