Chiwenga Cannot Make Legal Decisions As Health Minister, Appointment Illegal

8th September 2020

A LEGAL think-tank, Veritas, says Vice President Constantino Chiwenga cannot initiate any law-making procedures on behalf of the Ministry of Health as his controversial appointment to the portfolio last month was illegal.

Chiwenga was appointed Health Minister by President Emmerson Mnangagwa late last month despite claims he was constitutionally ineligible for the job when he was still substantive VP.

He came in as a replacement for the sacked Obadiah Moyo.

Chiwenga has moved to issue a Statutory Instrument amending an earlier Covid-19 lockdown order. – newzimbabwe
