Open letter by Kennedy Kaitano

Dear Advocate Gutu

A few days ago I questioned the sincerity of your statement that you were not in POLAD for tea and scones, even though it is highly likely that the POLAD will be served with as much as they need of those commodities during their meetings.

Previously, you also denied that POLAD members earn allowances for attending meetings, but in the first open letter I wrote you, I had reservations about who paid for the hotel bills when you go to Nyanga or Kadoma for your meetings.

Now, it is interesting to hear that the unconstitutional POLAD’s members are now even demanding luxury cars from tax papers, and it is understood Mnangagwa has approved the purchase of luxury cars for this unconstitutional creation – shame on him for such level of corruption, and also to the POLAD members who are demanding these luxurious cars at the expense of the tax payers.

Where are Professor Mthuli Ncube’s austerity measures when such drama is unfolding? POLAD is unconstitutional, and duplicates the functions of Parliament and the Executive, and we do not need it to be funded by the tax paper. 

If Mnangagwa is the listening President that he portrays himself to be, he much disband his ugly, unconstitutional creation called POLAD henceforth, or let them operate not at the tax payers money. 

Gutu, if you think your colleagues in POLAD are not doing it for tea, scones, cash and luxury cars, then you may be in the wrong basket.

There are background stories to show that Gutu portrays exactly the opposite of what is happening.
