By A Correspondent- Speaking on a program organised by the Matsanga Africa Perspective (MAP) in Kenya on Friday, Norton Member of Parliament Temba Mliswa has urged former cabinet minister Professor Jonathan Moyo to prove his innocence by coming out of hiding and presenting himself to Zimbabwean courts.

Mliswa said Moyo should stop attacking Zimbabwe from outside simply because he has pending court cases over corruption but he should rather come back to Zimbabwe and prove his innocence.

Said Mliswa:

“…… at the same time there is the aspect of those outside Zimbabwe. Professor Moyo was part of the former president Robert Mugabe regime and he is also facing allegations of having been corrupt which he must answer to.

So at times don’t hate a country because you also have allegations. I was arrested Dr Matsanga, over 70 times and acquitted 70 times. And you know that I never run away from the country. I never ran away from the country because I believed I was innocent at the end of the day. And this was when the regime was tough but I still went through that.

So what is important is that we also don’t want a situation where people who are in power, steal resources, when they are said to be corrupt they run away and they start attacking the country from outside. Professor Jonathan Moyo must come back and must also face the justice like any other person in a proper manner.”
