Clerk of Parliament, Kennedy Chokuda yesterday said the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Youth, Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment had no mandate to summon Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo for a hearing, as it had no oversight role over his ministry.
Chokuda said,
Each committee has a specific mandate and plays an oversight role on specific ministries … so that is a clear issue.
His come after committee chairperson and Gokwe-Nembudziya MP, Justice Mayor Wadyajena, said his committee had resolved to probe allegations that Moyo, his deputy, Godfrey Gandawa, and other ministry officials, allegedly abused over $400 000 from the Zimbabwe Manpower Development Fund (Zimdef).
