Despite this, they are silent on the expropriation rate, so it is a fraud. The foreign exchange retention policy introduced by the RBZ allows the government to get foreign currency necessary for the importation of critical commodities such as fuel, medicine and cooking oil and electricity among other things. *Related:* *Mangudya Reveals Biti Borrowed Without Parliament’s Approval* *More: Financial Gazette* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
