Mujuru terminal benefits suspicious

President Robert Mugabe's recent decision to gazette former Vice-President Joice Mujuru's pension and retirement benefits including State-funded aide-de-camp officers, eight months after she unceremoniously lost both her government and Zanu PF posts, has raised eyebrows among her sympathizers and analysts who view the move as calculated to monitor her movements and curtail her plans to join opposition politics.

The Presidential Pension and Retirement Benefits published in statutory instrument 86 of 2015 gazetted on August 7 says Mujuru will enjoy several benefits including personal security, medical aid, travel allowances, and domestic workers paid for by the State.

Other benefits include two drivers, a private secretary, a close security unit officer, two aide de camp officers and use of a Mercedes Benz motor vehicle and a colour TV.
