By Farai D Hove| The exiled Prof Jonathan Moyo on Monday declared himself innocent of the draconian Public Order And Security Act.
Writing in the afternoon, Prof Moyo, who is on record abusing the Itai Dzamara family’s sympathisers saying they must be arrested for reporting on his abduction, said, “Hon Tendai Biti and Hon David Coltart, as respected lawyers & MPs when POSA was debated & enacted by Parliament on 31/1/02, you can help set the record straight on which minister steered POSA into law. Now even Zanu PF mouthpieces are parroting the entrenched lie about POSA!”
Prof Moyo was supported by Coltart who replied saying, “as I recall it was Patrick Chinamasa who steered POSA through Parliament with great support from the then Speaker Emmerson Mnangagwa.”
But is Jonathan Moyo innocent? On the 15th Jully 2015, Moyo tweeted saying anyone who has reported that Dzamara was abducted must be arrested for causing alarm and dispondency. “Those who say Dzamara was abducted must prove their claims or be charged of causing alarm and dispondency,” Prof Moyo tweeted.
