By Talent Gondo| Justice minister, Ziyambi Ziyambi today refused to comment on recent developments relating to Professor Levi Nyagura’ s link and involvement in the awarding of a doctorate to the former first lady, Grace Mugabe.

Ziyambi refused to comment on the issue while responding in Senate today, referring all questions to the minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology Development, Amon Murwira.

“This is a very specific issue which does not relate to policy, hence it is not within my jurisdiction.The responsible minister can respond,” he said.

Murwira however responded that just like everyone else, he had read about the issue in the media, but as a ministry , they had no reason to suspend Nyagura.

“We have read in the papers that the vice chancellor was arraigned before the courts, so I will not comment on court processes,” said Murwira.

He said Professor Nyagura was however reporting for duty since he had not been suspended.

“What I will say is he (Professor Nyagura) is reporting for duty because he has not been suspended. There is no reason why he should be suspended unless proven otherwise,” he said.

Murwira’s sentiments come in the wake of recent developments in the Grace Mugabe PhD saga where the High Court has, for the second time this year, refused to grant the Zimbabwe Anti-corruption Commission (Zacc) an order to search the University of Zimbabwe (UZ)’s offices in order to obtain documents and information relating to former first lady’s PhD degree .
