IMBABWE Finance Minister Tendai Biti's brother, Stanford has blasted the Prime Minister and president of the MDC party’s office for allegedly leaking a report document relating to the findings of a money scandal commission of inquiry to the media before its official release.

“How can a document leak from PM office. The history of the people around the Prime minister must be scrutinized,” he said.

We have in this article attempted to re-publish the alleged leaked document whose contents Harare is yet to comment on.

“There is something wrong in the prime minister or the (MDC) president’s office,” said Biti who also appeared to be questioning the credibility of Morgan Tsvangirai close aides, Ian and Theresa Makone, together with Hebson Makuvise ,

Zimbabwe’s ambassador to Germany.”

Meanwhile some MDC members in the United Kingdom have decided to hold a demonstration against Tsvangirai stating

“Our leaders should rise to our expectations. If they can’t it means we are not going anywhere with them” said the MDC branch leader.

In South-End-On- Sea’s branch a demonstration originally meant to be against South African president Jacob Zuma has now been twisted as the leaders begin to plan for a protest demanding a recall of Hebson Makuvise from government service where he is stationed as ambassador in Germany.

“Zimbabweans should stand up and ‘politicians must not miscalculate the povo,” said Biti adding that:

“Makuvise should not be the ambassador to Zimbabwe. And somehow they should call him back to Zimbabwe. He is a disgrace to the world, “ said Biti, criticising Hebson Makuvise, the man who some MDC supporters accuse of misappropriating most of the money.

Meanwhile rumours that the MDC’s Finance Director, Rumbidzai Nyamayemombe (pictured) has been fired and that this was alegedly because to the said indings were proven to be untrue. ZimEye can reliably inform our readers that Nyamayemombe is still working for MDC in Harare and was seen at Harvest House offices today (Friday)

Below we publish a part copy of the alleged leaked document:
