Mliswa Claims Army, ZANU PF Are Abusing Rusununguko Holdings "To Steal Resources"

Norton legislator Temba Mliswa (Independent) has accused some political elites in the ruling ZANU PF party, army generals and ministers of grand corruption involving Rusununguko Nkululeko Holdings, a company reportedly linked to the military.

NewsDay Zimbabwe says Mliswa made the allegations during a question-and-answer session in Parliament on Wednesday last week. He is quoted as saying:

We would like to know from an accountability point of view how much money is Rusununguko making and where is the money going to because, in every area, they are plundering resources in the name of Rusununguko, an army company.

Rusununguko is a vehicle which you, Zanu PF politburo members, are using to get things. That is the truth. You are abusing it. It is a vehicle in which (army) generals and your senior members are using to steal the resources of the country, yet the war veterans and soldiers are suffering.

We want accountability. Where is the money Rusununguko is generating going to or else give the resources of the country to the people? Give them to the ordinary soldiers so that they benefit.

Ruling party legislators complained that his question was an attack on Defence minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri. Resultantly, Mliswa was later ejected from Parliament by temporary speaker Martin Khumalo as he pressed for answers.

The Norton MP accused the Defence ministry of not submitting its accounts to the Auditor-General and the Public Accounts Committee for scrutiny.

Muchinguri-Kashiri dismissed Mliswa’s allegations as “unfair,” “offensive,” and “misleading” saying Rusununguko is a private company which does not benefit from budget allocations.
