PRIME Minister Morgan Tsvangirai reportedly pampered his fiancée Ms Elizabeth Mazvita Gama (nee Macheka) by booking her into a US$5 000-a-night suite at New York’s exclusive Waldorf Astoria Hotel for a week.
Ten other family members, including sons and daughters-in-law and officials from his office, spent seven nights at the Double Tree Hotel which charges US$390 per head per night.
Prime Minister Tsvangirai was reportedly granted a US$2 000 discount at the Waldorf Astoria.
Overally, the MDC-T leader was paying at least US$6 900 a day for his private trip in New York, translating to US$48 300 for accommodation only for the week-long stay, a figure that shoots up if the cost of return tickets to various destinations is factored in.
These figures exclude other people in the delegation like security personnel.
The PM has his own security aides on top of Government security details. He grabbed headlines last year when he allegedly married Ms Locadia Karimatsenga Tembo, whom he ‘‘divorced’’ within 12 days.
