The MDC-T has this morning issued a statement clarifying that Secretary General, Douglas Mwonzora did not abuse any party funds.
The statement reads:
*MDC-T Absolves Mwonzora of looting Party Funds*
*Press Statement*.
16 December 2020
———————
The MDC-T would like to dismiss with the contempt it deserves, the malicious and baseless allegation peddled by our detractors to the effect that the MDC-T Secretary General mishandled or put to his own use sums of money in the amount of ZWL300 000.
The Finance and Administration Committee and the National Standing Committee of MDC-T carefully looked into the allegations and found no truth in those allegations.
The so-called looted funds were in fact disbursed as part payment to our legal defence team whom we owe lots of money.
Our excellent legal team has won all the 20 lawsuits so far mounted against the MDC-T by our detractors.
The MDC-T party hereby sets the record straight that no funds were abused by Hon Douglas Mwonzora. The person who allegedly reported the matter to the Highlands Police, Jealous Chisvo has no loci standi to act for or on behalf of the MDC-T whatsoever.
Therefore, the allegations must be dismissed with the contempt they deserve. As the MDC-T, we have nothing to hide and Police are free to investigate the matter.
Issued by:
Dr Tapiwa Mashakada
MDC-T Acting National Spokesperson.
