On Monday, Guvamatanga failed again to appear before the committee, saying he needed more time to prepare responses. This prompted MPs in PAC to request that Guvamatanga be issued with a summons to appear before them or face a charge of contempt of Parliament. on 25 July, Guvamatanga failed again to appear before PAC to explain the government’s over-expenditure. Said Kuwadzana East MP Chalton Hwende (CCC): > His last excuse was a fake one and he is not taking us seriously. Last time (July), he lied that he had been in contact with someone with COVID-19, but two days later, we saw him at a public function. In 2019, the government brought before Parliament a Financial Adjustment Bill, which sought condonation for unapproved expenditure between 2015 and 2018, totalling US$9.6 billion. The Bill was introduced in the National Assembly, but it never progressed to the Second Reading Stage. It then lapsed in October 2020 when the 2019-20 parliamentary sessions ended.
