MDC-T leader Thokozani Khupe who lay week got a surprise Supreme Court ruling declaring her the leader of an unclear political formation which ropes in MDC leader Nelson Chamisa has immediately revealed that she wants Chamisa to account for $7m paid to the MDC for its presence in parliament under the political parties finance by government.

Government recently released more than $7 million to the MDC led by Chamisa as part of the $25 million that was shared with the ruling Zanu-PF as funding from the Political Parties Finance Act.

“The $7 million that you are referring to is political finances money which belongs to the organisation. Whatever funds are received, they must be accounted for. Political finances are meant to fund the activities of the organisations and not meant to go to an individual’s pocket,” said Dr Khupe.

“Currently, I do not have details of how the money was used. I have read also in the media about the allegations. In the MDC-A, we have our party MDC-T; certainly, we will be interested to find out what has been happening with regards to public funds under the previous leadership of Mr Nelson Chamisa. I would like to lead a corruption-free organisation and if time permits, I would like to get to the bottom of the matter.”

Khupe is on record clearly declaring that she is in politics just for the money and nothing else.

“I personally I love a better life. Your life is good man. But life can only be good when you have money in your pocket. Because money speaks. We are all here because we want money… We are in politics because we want money,” she said in a file video.
