Paul Nyathi|Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee hearing into Command Agriculture and Sakunda was aborted this morning after Zanu-PF legislators asked Tendai Biti to recuse himself from chairing the committee following the MDC Alliance’s refusal to recognise President Mnangagwa.
The Zanu-PF MPs took the position following the continued boycott of President Mnangagwa by MDC legislators whenever he attends parliament.
The call for Biti’s recusal was made by Chegutu West legislator Dexter Nduna and was supported by other Zanu-PF legislators prompting the adjournment of the meeting.
ZANU PF legislators walked out of the hearing that was meant to investigate corruption allegations raised against Sakunda Holdings boss, Kuda Tagwirei.
The development means that Tagwirei will not be appearing before Parliament since the Tendai Biti headed PAC no longer has a quorum.
Zanu PF legislator, Tinomudaishe Machakaire, a side kick to Tagwirei, is the one who was in the lead in commanding his Zanu PF colleagues on the committee to deny chairman Tendai Biti a quorum by walking out.
Machakaire emphasised his position on his Twitter page.
