By Own Correspondent| Opposition MDC leader Nelson Chamisa has blasted President Emmerson Mnangagwa for appointing Zanu PF Gokwe-Kana MP Owen Ncube as Minister of State for National Security adding that Ncube belonged to Chikurubi maximum prison for past atrocities.
In a statement, the MDC leader argued that Ncube, known as “Mudha” in political circles, was a vigilante group leader who should be nowhere near the country’s security services sector.
Said Chamisa:
“Only the Central Intelligence office has no Act of Parliament guiding their operations. Excitable individuals can manipulate the loose arrangement.
This is worsened by the recent appointment of Owen ‘Mudha’ Ncube as the head of the ministry responsible for the intelligence services.
The appointment is a manifestation of a failure, reluctance and disinterest of a total break from the past by the current government.
As State Security minister, Ncube is in charge of the dreaded Central Intelligence Organisation.-Newsday
