Lovemore Chikova Deputy News Editor
THE feud between Reserve Bank Governor Dr Gideon Gono and his former advisor Dr Munyaradzi Kereke has spilled into Parliament, with Dr Kereke yesterday writing to the August House seeking protection.
Dr Kereke is due to testify at the High Court following separate summons filed by Dr Gono on August 17 demanding a total of US$25 million for alleged defamation.
In the letter addressed to House of Assembly Speaker Mr Lovemore Moyo, Dr Kereke said he should be granted “special immunity” when he testifies because he would reveal sensitive information about Dr Gono.
He said Parliament should protect him to ensure the laws it passed were effective, especially in dealing with corruption.
“Hon. Speaker Sir, I wish to humbly submit before Parliament that laws in the country, the Official Secrets Act to be specific, not be used to subvert and suppress the noble fight against corruption in public institutions,” said Dr Kereke.
“I, therefore, hereby seek parliamentary immunity and protection for me to source and produce before the High Court of Zimbabwe explicit evidence.”
Dr Kereke said if the August House could not offer the immunity, then it should summon him to give the information which would be presented to the court.
He said he was seeking the protection after allegedly being harassed over his intended response to the lawsuit.
