The suspended chairperson of the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority, Sydney Gata has said his corruption case now needs the intervention of President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Gata is accused of a number of issues including criminal abuse of office and conversion of the parastatal’s vehicles into personal use.
He is currently on a suspension that was effected to pave way for investigations. Gata, however, is denying the allegations. He wrote to the Energy Minister Fortune Chasi:
It is clear from the foregoing that I respectfully take the view that your letter … ought not be the basis of the way forward between you (as the line minister) and the executive chairman. I believe this a matter that requires, on an urgent basis, the mediation role of the Office of the President and Cabinet. I will engage that mediation role without delay.
Regrettably your letter has created a state of affairs where the board whose members are purportedly seeking to implement your directive are no longer in a position to serve the interest of the company.
