Attempts by disgraced former Zanu-PF Central Committee member, Blessed Geza, to introduce a motion in the National Assembly to impeach President Mnangagwa are doomed to fail because the move lacks cross-party support while the grounds for the so-called impeachment are a stack of lies, Government said yesterday.
Geza, who
organised a failed attempt to foment an uprising to overthrow the
democratically elected Government of Zimbabwe on Monday last week, followed
that up with a document which has been circulating on social media and other
online platforms where he is alleging that he is going to lead an impeachment
process in Parliament to remove President Mnangagwa from power.
In it, he lists
a number of issues as grounds for the President’s impeachment and removal from
office.
Responding to
the latest stunt by the fugitive war veteran, whose nom de guerre is “Cde
Bombshell”, the Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services,
Dr Jenfan Muswere, dismissed the impeachment calls and said the document being
circulated by Geza was “not even worth the paper it is written on”.
“The so-called
impeachment paper being circulated by Geza is of no value and not worth the
paper it is written on. The people of Zimbabwe and their Members of
Parliament are
solidly behind their President whom they overwhelmingly elected in 2023. That
impeachment will never succeed,” he said.
Dr Muswere said
Zanu-PF was a colossal party with grassroots support and the majority of MPs in
Parliament.
It’s
leadership, he said, was united and would never allow for such a process to
unfold.
Dr Muswere
described Geza’s grounds for impeachment as a “vexatious figment of his
imagination that will never see the light of day”.
“That piece of
trash being circulated amounts to nothing. Zanu-PF has a two thirds majority in
Parliament and Honourable members of the august House across the political
divide appreciate the great work that has been achieved by the Second Republic
led by His Excellency, Cde Dr President ED Mnangagwa.
“Bombshell is
in hiding and wanted to use data to foment an uprising that never succeeded as
the peace-loving people of Zimbabwe refused to be used to drive agendas they
are not part of,” he said. Herald
