By Dorrothy Moyo| As his CIOs were grilled this week, Zimbabwe’s founding president Robeet Mugabe is to appear before parliament to answer for the missing diamond revenue which leaked under his watch.

The chair of the parliamentary portfolio, MP Temba Mliswa announced that Mugabe previously scheduled to appear today, will still appear before the committee on Mines.

Today’s schedule flopped after the clerk of Parliament did not write to Mugabe to invite him to appear.

Mliswa said, “it has been delayed but that resolution still stands. He will have to appear before the committee whether he likes it or not.”

Meanwhile below is the latest video roll on the hearings which as ZimEye reveals, have seen top CIO and police bosses being grilled:

Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) bosses were grilled for entering into a joint diamond-mining deal known as Sino-Zim, with Chinese convict Sam Pa, without doing a proper due diligence check on his background.

Sino-Zim operated a diamond mine known as Kusena Diamonds in the Chiadzwa area.

Kusena Diamonds board member Genius Madzingira (CIO) and Sino-Zim board member Pritchard Zhou and Kusena vice board chairperson Regiment Ruzende had a torrid time explaining to the committee issues pertaining to their entering into business with Sam Pa. The CIO officials also gave conflicting statements and cited their former boss Happyton Bonyongwe as the only person who used to deal with Sam Pa.
