It is our company and the directors are myself and my wife. It is a sewing company. It is supplying the army, Zanu-PF, the Ministry of Health (and Child Care) and many other companies. It won these tenders. It has got nothing to do with me as an individual. I cannot go and stop a company and say you can’t tender. It is not possible and the fact that I am working and when the company supplies the army and the Ministry of Health it is okay, but when they supply Zinara because they have won a tender competitively like everybody else then it becomes a crime. I do not understand it. When they won their tender I was not even involved, but the company is there and there is nothing to hide about it. It is connected with Nemchem and was supplying a lot of things in Government. We are doing a lot of cleaning and it did not start now. That has always been happening. Documents in The Herald’s possession show that on some occasions Gumbo was paid money for other engagements by Zinara, which had nothing to do with road development. In one case Zinara paid for $4 380 for Dr Gumbo’s travel expenses to Malaysia on Zim Airways business. Asked why Zinara was paying his costs that had nothing to do with road development Dr Gumbo said it was official Government business. *Also Read:* *Joram Gumbo Justifies Why Zimbabwe Airways Uses His Daughter’s House As Offices* *Gumbo clarifies Bona Mugabe’s husband, Simba Chikore’s resignation from Air Zimbabwe* More: Herald _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
