By Own Correspondent| President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration has remained silent regarding reports alleging that government ordered that Zimbabwe Power Company pays “briefcase” businessman Wicknell Chivayo US$52 million for the construction of the Gwanda Solar Project.

The money, which is part of the $140 million which will be released to Chivayo for the construction of the Gwanda Solar Power Project was allegedly authorised after Chivayo wrote to Mnangagwa pleading for his intervention after  Zesa subsidiary, the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) had refused to release the funds.

Zimbabweans on Monday wrote to President Emmerson Mnangagwa demanding answers following reports that his administration ordered the US$52 Million payment to Chivayo by the ZPC.
Below were some of the interactions on social networking website, Facebook:

Zanele Dube Mr President please shed light on the Chivayo issue. As a country we need accountability and transparency if you want Zimbabweans to trust you with their future. I hope you will respond to this…

Simba Chikanza This is matter is vital Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa – your ‘great brand’ stands to lose on public trust. Why are you still quiet on revelations that your administration ordered that ZESA/ZPC must pay Wicknell Chivayo over $51million ?

Prince Tanaka Simba Chikanza China Eximbank is providing a bank guarantee. So there is no risk apo. Take it easy. The risk is with Eximbank who are guaranteeing the payment.
Simba Chikanza …even if it was Bill Gates who provides the security, the problem is with a Head Of State who allows a well known fraudster and conman to continue holding a national energy project after squandering $5million on shoes and foreign trips. Prince Tanaka Zanele Dube
