The chairperson of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Chalton Hwende, said that they will summon the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion, George Guvamatanga, over his criticism of the Auditor-General’s report.
The 2023 report presented to Parliament by Auditor-General Rhea Kujinga exposed how the government had paid substantial sums of money for a range of items, including 97 vehicles and medical and ICT equipment, but the suppliers had failed to deliver these goods to various government ministries and departments.
In response, Guvamatanga criticised the Office of the Auditor General (OAG), saying the findings were misleading and suggesting that the report should have clarified that the government was taking action on the matter.
However, speaking in an interview with <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/thestandard/news/article/200030201/guvamatanga-faces-censure-over-outburst">The Standard</a>, Hwende characterised Guvamatanga’s comments as an attempt to “intimidate and undermine the Auditor General.” Said Hwende:
<blockquote>
The attack on the OAG’s report by the permanent secretary is rather unfortunate and as a public accounts committee, we view it as an attempt to intimidate and interfere with the constitutional responsibility bestowed on the Office of the Auditor General.
We will soon be summoning him to Parliament so that he can appear before the committee. Parliament through our committee is seized with the 2023 Office of the Auditor General’s report and we must be allowed to perform our oversight role and ensure that public resources are properly accounted for.
</blockquote>
Transparency International Zimbabwe executive director Tafadzwa Chikumbu said:
<blockquote>
The secretary of Finance should respect the role of the auditor general as established by Section 310 of the constitution of Zimbabwe and the Audit Office Act [Chapter 22:18] which mandates the Office of the Auditor General to provide oversight and ensure accountability within the three arms of government, state-owned enterprises and local authorities.
As Transparency International, we value the role of supreme audit institutions in identifying corruption risks in the public sector.
Instead, the permanent secretary should work closely with the OAGs office to ensure that financial management systems are in place and being adhered to.
His utterances are quite concerning and worrying in view of the damning findings of the 2023 reports…
I concur that the public accounts commit to summon the secretary in there as Parliament to protect the constitution and safeguard public resources for the common good.
</blockquote>
Speaking during a familiarisation tour of the Finance Ministry by the Budget and Finance Parliamentary Committee on Monday last week, Guvamatanga said the Auditor General’s office “misdirected itself” in its report. He said:
<blockquote>
l can safely say that the auditor general misdirected themselves because, within the three pillars of control, those are regarded as issues known to management so l am not saying they should not have highlighted them but they should have mentioned them and say, government has discovered that there were undelivered vehicles.

Parliament is angry with a man named George for criticizing a report about the government wasting money. The report said the government paid for things like cars and equipment, but never got them. George said the report was wrong and the government was fixing the problem. But Parliament thinks George is trying to stop the report from showing the truth. They want him to explain himself in front of them. Another group called Transparency International also thinks George should respect the report and help make sure money is spent correctly. Everyone is arguing about who is right.

Parliament Set To Summon Guvamatanga For "Undermining" Auditor General

Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee has summoned the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) for questioning later this week over an alleged multi-million dollar tender involving convicted criminal and President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s associate Wicknell Chivayo, reported <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200029083/zec-gate-poll-body-faces-probe">NewsDay</a>.
Chalton Hwende, the chairperson of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee, confirmed inviting ZEC to the National Assembly on Friday, July 5, adding that the meeting would be open to the public. He wrote on X:
<blockquote>
This week, as we continue with our oversight role @ZECzim will appear before the Public Accounts Committee on Friday 5 July at 10 AM at the Parliament of Zimbabwe. This meeting is open to the public and the media.
</blockquote>
A leaked recording of a conversation between Chivayo and his former business partners Moses Mpofu and Mike Chimombe suggests that the trio was involved in a deal with a South African company, Ren-Form CC, worth over US$40 million, for the supply of election material to ZEC ahead of the 23 August 2023 general elections.
Acting as agents on ZEC’s behalf, the three allegedly inflated invoices but later fell out over a disagreement on the sharing of the loot.
Chimombe is a ZANU PF central committee member and president of the Economic Empowerment Group which is aligned with the ruling party.
ZEC recently issued a statement refuting any involvement with Chivayo and his former associates in procuring election materials, asserting that all their procurement processes were conducted transparently.
However, leaked Treasury documents, including invoices, reveal that Ren-Form CC had engaged Betterbrands, owned by ZANU PF legislator Pedzisayi “Scott” Sakupwanya, which subsequently partnered with Chivayo and his associates.
Mpofu and Chimombe have accused Chivayo of unlawfully altering their contract with Ren-Form and Betterbrands for supplying election materials to ZEC, allegedly profiting from corruption alone in the process.
Reports are indicating that some of these electoral materials have yet to be delivered, despite payments being made by the Treasury.
Last week in the Senate, CCC Senator Sengezo Tshabangu raised concerns about why the Ministry of Finance, Economic Development, and Investment Promotion settled invoices for portable toilets and translucent light boxes that were never received. Said Tshabangu:
<blockquote>
There is an allegation that ZEC, which is a product of Chapter 12 of our Constitution, engaged a South African company to deliver materials for the 2023 elections, but the company has not delivered the materials to date.
The invoice which amounts to US$9 million was authorised by the Ministry of Finance after the elections.
My question is: why did the Ministry of Finance settle the full invoice amounting to over US$9 million, which went through its banker CBZ on September 7, 2023, for the procurement of portable toilets, V11 forms and translucent light boxes that were never delivered?
</blockquote>
Senate Deputy President Mike Nyambuya advised Tshabangu to formalize the query in writing.
He also directed the question to Justice, Legal, and Parliamentary Affairs Deputy Minister Nobert Mazungunye, who requested additional time to thoroughly investigate and verify the allegations before responding. Said Mazungunye:
<blockquote>
As far as I am concerned, I feel that question is a specific one which might require time to go back and research more on it and maybe if we do our findings, then we can properly respond to that matter.
At the moment, there are still allegations which are not substantiated as has been said already but we may need to go and verify again.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, Chimombe and Chivayo are currently held in remand prison following their arrest on charges related to defrauding the government in an $88 million Presidential Goat Pass-on scheme.
On June 24, Mpofu and Mike Chimombe, accompanied by their legal representatives, voluntarily presented themselves to the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) to cooperate with investigations into the alleged ZEC tender scandal.
However, they left the ZACC offices without being interviewed. According to reports, the investigating officer, Henry Chapwanya, indicated he was occupied with another case and would schedule interviews when available.
Critics argue that the arrests of Mpofu and Chimombe concerning the goat scheme are a diversion aimed at shielding Chivayo and the high-ranking government officials allegedly implicated in the ZEC deal.

Parliament Summons ZEC Over Alleged Multi-Million Dollar Tender Scandal

Transport and Infrastructure Development Minister Felix Mhona said that the government has started disengaging from the Univern contract after it was deemed inconsistent with the Procurement Act.
This came after the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report made under the 2016 Audit Report presented before Parliament showed that the granting of the contract to Univern was not consistent with the Procurement Act.
Both the Audit Report and PAC established that it was improper for the Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (ZINARA) to pay huge amounts of money to Univern when it had not constructed a single tollgate.
Addressing lawmakers in the National Assembly, Mhona said the government cannot continue with the contract. He said:
<blockquote>
We have started disengaging from Univern. So, we cannot say we have given them a lifetime.
They were arguing to say their contracts are ending in 2029/30 but we said alas, we cannot continue with this contract which was a one-paper or whatever.
We need to regularise and make sure we are in line. We cannot wake up and we don’t want them.
We need to take over from them and we have done that in terms of the database, which was also another problem where the database was still within their purview.
We are less than 24 months for them to end their contracts. We are taking over the systems.
We are saying at the end of the day, for a contract that did not have an end date; we managed to sit and say we need this to have finality in terms of the contract arrangement.
Precisely, I do concur that it was a bad contract, no one disputes that.
</blockquote>
<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Univern_Enterprises">Univern Enterprises</a> is a Zimbabwean-registered firm that supplies IT systems, as well as various goods and services in Zimbabwe.

Govt "Disengaging" From Univern Contract, Says Minister Mhona

Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chaired by MDC vice president <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tendai_Biti" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tendai Biti</a> has given three Finance ministry officials an ultimatum to appear before it on Friday, November 15 or face arrest for contempt of Parliament.
The three officials are the ministry’s director of budgets Zvinechimwe Churu, director of capital expenditure Fidelis Ngorora and the accountant-general. Speaking to reporters on Monday after the officials’ latest snub, Biti said:
<blockquote>We regret and are saddened to note that they have defaulted on our request for them to attend this meeting. We are also saddened by the continuous disrespect of Parliament so we are giving the ministry of Finance one last chance before we direct the clerk of Parliament to issue a warrant of arrest in terms of the Parliamentary Privileges Act.</blockquote>
Biti revealed that the officials failed to turn up in the first instance saying that they had been attending a workshop and on the second occasion they said they were not aware that they were supposed to appear before Parliament.
PAC expects the officials to explain the contents of the documents in connection with how over $3 billion received from the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Reserve_Bank_of_Zimbabwe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ)</a> by the ministry was used without Parliament’s approval.

Biti Gives RBZ Officials One Last Chance

The Ministry of Finance and Economic Development has been given “the last chance” to appear before the Public Accounts Committee after the Ministry ignored the hearing on Command Agriculture.
The chairperson of the committee, Tendai Biti said that the principal director of budgets, Mr Churu and the director of Capital expenditure, Mr Fidelis Ngorora, as well as the Accountant General, had been summoned by Parliament for investigations with regards the matter. Biti added:
<blockquote>The business of parliament super cedes anything else…Our oversight role as defined by the constitution is very clear, Parliament exercises serious oversight role over all public institutions and persons.
We’re giving the Ministry of Finance one more last chance before we direct the Clerk of Parliament to issue a warrant of arrest as he is permitted to do in terms of the Parliamentary Privileges Act.</blockquote>
Reports suggest that the last farming season’s Command Agriculture money was abused by stakeholders including Sakunda Holdings.
This is happening when the country is facing severe starvation as there is a huge shortage in maize and wheat due to drought which affected the farming season, something the missing US$3 billion could have prevented had it been put to good use.

Ministry Of Finance Given An Ultimatum After Snubbing Command Agriculture Hearing

The Tendai Biti-led Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has summoned <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Reserve_Bank_of_Zimbabwe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ)</a> officials to appear before it and explain how the central bank issued billions of US dollars through unallocated reserves as well as Treasury Bills (TBs) in 2017 and 2018 to <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Sakunda_Holdings" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sakunda Holdings</a> for <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Command_Agriculture_2016" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Command Agriculture</a>.
Speaking to reporters after three RBZ officials, deputy governor Kupukile Mlambo and two other officials Tsitsi Hungwe and William Manhimanzi, failed to appear before PAC, Biti said:
<blockquote>We are now summoning the RBZ and in particular them to appear before us on October 24 and if they default, we will ask the clerk of Parliament to issue a warrant for their formal arrest.</blockquote>
Biti said the Committee was going to formally write to the officials to express its disgust for their “unacceptable and a total disrespect of Parliament”.
He added that PAC was going to receive evidence from suppliers FSG and Croco Motors, while Sakunda will be dealt with separately.
