Parliament reluctant to call Gono

Parliament's portfolio committee on finance is surprisingly reluctant to call former RBZ governor Gideon Gono to help explain how the Bank's debt ballooned to more than $1 billion.

In light emotive views arising from countrywide consultative meetings and allegations that the former Central Bank Chief was partly responsible for the fiasco, as well as strong calls for an audit of those obligations, it is unclear why committee chair David Chapfika says that they would rather talk to the current governor John Mangudya only and not to Gono as well.

The ex-banker and Deputy Finance minister said they will consider all the findings and if it necessary they will invite the current RBZ governor for answers.
