“The so-called looted funds were in fact disbursed as part payment to our legal defence team whom we owe lots of money. Our excellent legal team has won all the 20 lawsuits so far mounted against the MDC-T by our detractors.”
Mashakada said the person who reported the matter to the Highlands Police, Jealous Chisvo has no right to act on behalf of the MDC-T.
