MDC Alliance official Discent Collins Bajila has described Energy minister Joram Gumbo as his 2019 comedian of the year considering his recent remarks concerning a company ownership.

"Here is an excerpt from one of the few interviews he gave. "I have a company called JMCD. It is our company and the directors are myself and my wife. It is a sewing company. It is supplying the army, ZANU-PF, the Ministry of Health (and Child Care) and many other companies. It won these tenders. It has got nothing to do with me as an individual," Gumbo told the Herald.

"I cannot go and stop a company and say you can't tender. It is not possible and the fact that I am working and when the company supplies the army and the Ministry of Health it is okay, but when they supply ZINARA because they have won a tender competitively like everybody else then it becomes a crime. I do not understand it."

"When they won their tender I was not even involved, but the company is there and there is nothing to hide about it. It is connected with Nemchem and was supplying a lot of things in government. We are doing a lot of cleaning and it did not start now. That has always been happening."

This means that Gumbo exposed their shenanigans they commit at the expense of citizens.
