ZRP Hunting For Men That Lied To ED That They Will Donate 2 Million Face Masks To The Govt
ZRP has launched a manhunt for King David Global Foundation owners after they reportedly lied to President Emmerson Mnangagwa that they were importing 2 million masks as a donation to the government.
The matter came to light in parliament while Civil Protection Unit (CPU) director Nathan Nkomo was giving oral evidence to the Budget and Finance Economic Development Parliamentary portfolio committee yesterday.
Nkomo said The King David Global Foundation had lied to President Mnangagwa and had been issued with a duty-free certificate to import the masks duty-free:
The company lied to the President and it was given a duty-free certificate to bring in the masks. On the day the donation was presented to his Excellency, the directors of the company told us that the consignment was still at Featherstone on its way to Harare. They lied that one of their vehicles had developed a technical fault at Featherstone and you can allow us to declare our donation.
However, after 10 days no delivery had been made to the government-run pharmacy NatPharm. I have since made a report to the Law and Order enforcement agents for investigations on what happened to this donation. It could be criminal but we are yet to find out from the police.
