Parly flexes muscles on ethanol deal
NewsDay Staff ·
The Parliamentary Portfolio committee on agriculture has flexed its muscles by recalling Agriculture Mechanization and Irrigation Development Joseph Made to appear before its to explain details surrounding the $600-million-dollar ethanol plant in Chisumbanje.
Made a fortnight ago professed ignorance after questions surrounding the joint venture deals entered into by Agricultural Development Authority (Arda) and private consortiums Ratings and Macdom which are controlled by business mogul Billy Rautenbach.
Made told the committee that questions surrounding the deal would be better addressed to former Agriculture minister Rugare Gumbo who was in office when the agreements were concluded.
