By A Correspondent- The chairperson of the Parliamentary Health Committee, Dr Ruth Labode has queried why citizens are being asked to pay for Covid-19 tests when government received an estimated US$45 million to procure Covid-19 test kits.

Labode said people should not be paying for Covid-19 tests and attributed the development to corruption.

She said:

“The Global Fund gave Zimbabwe US$45m to buy Covid-19 test kits. Why are people still forced to pay US$60 for a Covid-19 test? It’s corruption.”
