Saviour Kasukuwere's younger brother Stanley Kasukuwere has been accused of looting $40 000 disbursed by Government for the Zimbabwe National Youth Games held in Bindura in April.
Information gathered showed that NMB Bank and other charity organisations paid for the trophies that were given to the winners and food for athletes and the $40 000 that was disbursed by the Sports and Recreation Commission cannot be accounted for.
Further, several service providers who were supposed to be paid from the Government grant are yet to be paid and Stanley, who was the chief executive officer for the games, insisted that those who rendered services had done so voluntarily.
Mashonaland Central province Senator Annah Shiri confirmed receiving reports relating to the abuse of money during the games, adding that Government had already instituted an audit into the matter.
Meanwhile, the Zanu PF politburo is expected to meet on Wednesday to decide the fate of its underfire national commissar Saviour Kasukuwere after Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda's team presented a report of its findings to President Robert Mugabe last month.
The issue was deferred last month, as Mugabe was hosting the visiting Lesotho monarch, King Letsie lll and commissioning two infrastructure projects.
