RE LETTER OF
COMPLAINT TO JOMIC
1. My understanding,
as a layman, is that Jomic plays an important oversight role over
the Global
Political Agreement currently in place today. I also understand
that it provides for individuals who believe that in the context
of the political processes under way, there are certain Violations,
Harassment, False Justifications, victimisation, Malice and Misrepresentations
which have been made or are being made by certain key persons and
individuals against others and which Violations, Misrepreseantations,
Malice, Falsehoods, have been or are being perpetrated to achieve
certain pre determined political outcomes that have nothing to do
with national interests.
2. A case in
point is where I have continued to suffer abuse from one of the
GPA negotiators and now Minister of Finance Hon TL Biti who succeeded
to hide his true motives and intentios from all our Political Negotiators,
the Facilitator as well as our (3) Principals, our Cabinet and its
Committees, SADC Heads of State and Government, the International
Community, IMF/WB/ADB among others and made Governor Gideon Gono
an issue for removal by the Principals.
3. As the attached
documentation will show, Hon Biti has sown seeds of hatred, and
made me a victim of political malice, apart from endangering my
life and that of my family in the process.
4. I believe
that he may not have declared to all above parties and stakeholders
concerned that he has a personal vendetta against the Governor and
the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe in general over his Legal Firm's
alleged Externalisation and Money Laundering Allegations that my
team were investigating from 2005 2006, a matter that remains unsettled
at the Courts and for which he and his partners at the Law Firm
Honey and Blanckenberg may be called upon to testify with embarassing
revelations.
5. My team had
also earlier this year (23.01.09) received from another Whistle
Blower allegations of further financial improprieties involving
alleged acquisitions of certain properties in South Africa. See
attached.
6. My team have
not to date looked into that matter for fear of victimisation, neither
have they brought those matters to any other investigating Office
in the country, yet. We did not want to be seen as undermining the
new spirit of inclusivity and national healing, preferring to let
sleeping dogs lie and open a new chapter but this does not seem
to be the Minister's spirit.
7. An example
of such damaging falsehoods was that the false story from him to
Cabinet alleging that Governor borrowed US$1,1bn on behalf of the
state without approval from Government yet he had on file, letters
of authorisations from his predecessor Ministers of Finance. The
move was meant to bring disrepute to the operations of the RBZ and
the Governor.
8. I have enclosed
copies of our subsequent correspondence with the Hon Minister.
9. I have also
enclosed copies of many political fliers being dropped in Bulawayo,
Harare and other urban areas demonizing me along the same lines
that the Minister is accustomed to doing, though I am not suggesting
that he is the one behind the pamphlets because I don't have
that evidence.
10. Over the
period he has been my minisiter, he has only met with the governor
and his team on three, very brief occasions and yet speaks about
our operations as if he is actually in the picture, yet he is not.
11. I have raised
the harassment issue via Government processes of the office of the
Hon Prime Minister and I await his response but that is only to
do with governmental processes.
12. From the
GPA angle and political processes I believe that it is right and
proper that such serious issues be brought before JOMIC and I appeal
to you to have the matter put under Agenda for your next meeting
or if you deem it necessary that it be elevated to the platform
of the three Principals and/or either processes you deem most appropriate.
13. All I want
is to work in peace and to be left to do my job as prescribed by
law without victimisation or danger of the nature I am experiencing.
Yours Sincerely,
G. GONO
GOVERNOR
