Zec ducks Chivayo millions saga

THE Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) officials yesterday made a plea to the media to stop quizzing them over the contentious elections tender involving Wicknell Chivayo saying they had no answer to the questions.

Zec is under fire over a murky US$40 million tender it awarded to the Zanu PF-linked businessman for the procurement of electoral material for the disputed August 2023 election.

Chivayo, a convicted fraudster and tenderpreneur was heard in leaked audios confirming reports that he got a US$40 million tender from Zec to supply electoral materials.
