A local traditional leader has accused two former Government Ministers of looting funds meant for the rehabilitation of roads in the area.

Addressing villagers here last week Chief Mahlebadza Mudavanhu made a scathing attack on former Ministers Saviour Kasukuwere(Local Government) and Sydney Sekeramayi(Defence) for allegedly looting $ 6,8 million meant for the rehabilitation of roads in Mberengwa District.

According to Chief Mudavanhu the money was donated by the United Nations towards the construction of Jeka Bridge and the rehabilitation of dilapidated roads in the area.

“Kasukuwere and Sekeramayi came here last year in the company of some United Officials who pledged to give us $ 6,8 million towards the refurbishment of roads.The two were then asked to collect the funds on behalf of our community but they never came back,” said Chief Mudavanhu.

Chief Mudavanhu further alleged that Transport and Infrastructure Development Minister, Joram Gumbo was aware of the scam.
