By Farai D Hove| Below is the response by the Minister Of Energy Fortune Chasi on allegations that he switched off the MDC party’s connection lines at Ascot Stadium yesterday. Minister Chasi denied ever doing this saying those accusing him can only be mad.
The Gweru Congress was plunged into darkness yesterday.
Dear @fortunechasi

Did you in your Capacity Prioritised Electricity for Ascot Stadium ahead of MDC Congress considering the high number of people gathered at one place? Is this not risking the lives of Citizens Honorable? This Country needs Healing @nelsonchamisa @TembaMliswa pic.twitter.com/WEjrtKtrpa
A critic of the minister, Mr Sebastian Mukonza had said if one asks, “Fortune Chasi why plunged MDC Congress at Ascot stadium into darkness he will probably tell you that he is not a ZESA engineer.”
To this, Chasi responded by saying: “uno rwara – you are mad!”
He also added saying, “what due respect? Am the one who switched off the electricity?”
At that point, another Zimbabwean, Mr Chris Nyamandi then asked the question, “would you have allowed a ZANU PF Congres sto be plunged into darkness for whatever reason Minister?”
