By A Correspondent| The opposition MDC Alliance has called President Emmerson Mnangagwa to order over his government move to reject the COVAX facility allocation of Johnson and Johnson vaccines while dragging them into the matter by claiming that they are sitting on half a million doses.

Posting on Twitter, MDC Alliance discouraged Mnangagwa against politicking when people’s lives are at stake due to the pandemic.

“We condemn the attempt by Mr Mnangagwa to politicize their refusal of vaccines under the COVAX facility yet people are dying. They must not drag the MDC Alliance into this matter. This is not the time for politicking. The focus must be on saving lives. #GetVaccinated,” said MDC Alliance.

Early this week, Presidential spokesperson George Charamba using his moniker @jamwanda2 quoted controversy when he claimed that the MDC Alliance had received 500 000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines through the US Embassy.

The MDC Alliance has since refuted the claims.
