HARARE \u2013 In a dramatic reversal, Bikita South Member of Parliament Energy Mutodi has issued a full apology to Finance and Economic Development Ministry Permanent Secretary George Guvamatanga, retracting corruption allegations he made against the senior official in a social media rant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mutodi, who serves as Chairperson of Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Budget, Finance, and Economic Development, took to X on Thursday with serious accusations against Guvamatanga, alleging corruption and demanding of kickbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former Deputy Minister of Information has since performed a complete about-face, stating that after reflection and a private telephone conversation with Guvamatanga, the two had reached an understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I therefore wish to issue an apology unreservedly to Mr George Guvamatanga for the reputational damage the tweets may have caused,” Mutodi stated in a formal retraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I have made instructions that the tweets be erased with immediate effect.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The swift deletion of the social media posts and the public apology came after what Mutodi described as a productive discussion with the Permanent Secretary, where both parties agreed not to escalate the matter further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident highlights the growing tension between parliamentary oversight committees and executive officials, though the rapid resolution suggests efforts to maintain working relationships within government structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
