Khupe falls on hard times ahead of elections, demands $1m from Chamisa
The party was awarded about $1,9 million before the split and the MDC-T said they did not get part of the amount after they split.
Treasury availed a total of US$9 million to Zanu-PF and MDC-T but the latter did not get the funding after the split that followed the death of MDC founder president Morgan Tsvangirai. Dr Khupe said they have written to the Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs to register their complaint.
“We have not received any money from the $1,9 million that was disbursed, not even a single cent. We wrote to the Ministry of Justice informing them of our position. We need our money for campaigning and they are mum on the issue,” she said.
Dr Khupe said they have started legal proceedings to pursue the matter with the Government.
“We have decided to take the legal route, we are engaging our lawyers with our VP (Obert) Gutu over the matter but the truth is we are in sixes and sevens over the issue, we are hoping that a miracle happens and we get this funding as soon as possible,” she said.
Dr Khupe said the $1 million that they were demanding was meant for voter education and deployment of polling agents.
