Former Health minister (GNU era), Henry Madzorera has said the sacking of the Health Minister, Dr Obadiah Moyo had nothing to do with addressing corruption in the country.
Moyo was fired on Tuesday “from the office of Cabinet Minister with immediate effect for conduct inappropriate for a Government Minister.”
He has a pending corruption case in which he is being accused of abusing coronavirus relief funds. In response to Moyo’s dismissal, Madzorera, a top opposition MDC official said:
The sacking of Obadiah Moyo does not change anything.
His sacking is a window dressing measure, it’s only a face-saving measure which is not done in earnest.
This is not done to curb corruption within the government of Zanu PF, but they are only managing the public relations.
He also claimed that President Mnangagwa was the person responsible for the rot within Zanu PF government adding that everyone in the ruling party should be fired.
Madzorera speaks when the government is at loggerheads with the citizenry and opposition parties who are demanding transparency and accountability from the government.
A protest has since been scheduled for the 31st of July to force the government to uphold principles of good governance.
