GOVERNMENT will gazette names of those who assisted in the liberation struggle (mujibhas and chimbwindos) for the public to verify, when the vetting process ends.
In this year’s budget the Ministry of War Veterans of the Liberation Struggle received over ZWL$4 billion that will be used for the vetting process.
Last week Senator Ottiliah Maluleke asked the Minister of the War Veterans of the Liberation Struggle, Senator Monica Mavhunga, how far they had gone with the vetting process, during the question and answer session in the Senate.
“I want to say in 2022, we started on the process of vetting of those who assisted in the war of liberation struggle, that is the (mujibhas and chimbwindos). We will gazette the names of those we vetted so people can have a say on whether or not they really assisted. We had however stopped the process because most of those involved in the struggle had not gotten the opportunity to participate. So in this year’s budget, we got RTGs 41.3 billion to enable us to continue the vetting process. We will continue to vet those who were left out and then we can gazette all the names at the same time. That will enable us to then be able to assist them once the process is completed.”
