Health minister quizzed over First Lady’s govt ‘interference’

HEALTH and Child Care minister Obadiah Moyo was on Wednesday quizzed in Parliament by opposition legislators over First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa’s alleged interference at government enterprises such as Natpharm.

“The First Lady went on to direct Natpharm to the extent that she called the Health minister on a Sunday, together with his board to explain to her why there were shortages of drugs. Do private individuals have the capacity to simply go into Natpharm and direct how things should be done?”
