In an apparent open breach of Parliament procedures and legislation, Information Communication Technology (ICT) minister, Supa Mandiwanzira, has sensationally on his twitter account made a public threat against suspended NetOne chief executive officer Reward Kangai.
The furious Mandiwanzira said Kangai would be “legal mince meat”, if he repeated his claims outside of Parliament.
Mandiwanzira has been implicated in a Netone corruption case in which he is reported to have tried to extert his authority to get the parastatal to pay  $4 million to Megawatt Energy to investigate  Huawei.
According to Kangai in the continuing saga Megawatt is owned by a Chinese businessman, Li Xiaodong, who is Mandiwanzira’s friend.
The sensational allegations were made by  Kangai, who gave oral evidence before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on ICT, on Monday.
On his twitter account Tuesday, Mandiwanzira said Kangai risks to be sued if he continues accusing the Zanu PF minister of being corrupt.
“Only a corrupt mind can fabricate such lies! He must repeat such trash outside Parly and he is legal mince meat,” writes Mandiwanzira.
The former NetOne boss who was ousted from the parastatal by Mandiwanzira, early this year alleges that he was sacked for resisting the ICT minister’s corruption orders.
In response Mandiwanzira is apparently threatening to sue Kangai over the allegations.
