1. A few weeks ago there was a wave of “donations” most of which were played out in front of cameras at State House. One of the so-called donors was Drax International which claimed to be “donating drugs” worth US$200K purportedly “for patients infected by Covid-19”.
2. This is the same company that’s charging exorbitant prices for masks and test kits in a contract with the Zimbabwe government. One of its invoices is for half a million dollars for 15000 test kits. Industry experts say it should be no more than US$200K.
3. Interestingly, it was alleged at the time that the Drax had “offered Government a US$60 million facility to procure drugs”. But in a recent letter Finance Secretary said US$60 million contracts with Drax had been suspended/cancelled. @HeraldZimbabwe had sold us a dummy.
4. The US$60 million contracts were packaged as a favour being done by Drax to the Government when in fact it’s the other way round. Why would the government cancel or suspend a generous “offer” from Drax? This is what happens all the time: bitter lemons packaged as sweet oranges
