The question comes after pictures of the new combat regat regalia made rounds on social media. Some argued that government was preparing to squash demonstrations that were announced by the opposition MDC and civil society groups over the deteriorating state of affairs. In a related matter, Ziyambi was asked by Kambuzuma MP Willias Madzimure (MDC Alliance) to explain the criteria used to compensate business people that lost their goods during the January violent demonstrations. Madzimure said: > Businessmen that lost their goods were compensated, but is government going to compensate people that lost their lives because a majority of them were innocent people caught in the crossfire? Ziyambi responded saying that the government was giving loans to business people that had their goods destroyed so that they rebuild their businesses. With regards the loss of lives, Ziyambi said that an investigation was still ongoing. More: News Day _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
