We will let Mugabes live in peace: Mnangagwa
Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Wednesday denied that the Mugabe family
had been granted immunity, but said his administration would do everything
possible to ensure the former first family "live in peace, [and]
undisturbed".
"We have not given anybody immunity. What I have promised to my former
president, the founding father of our nation, is that we give him [a] very
lucrative package," Mnangagwa said during a session at the World Economic Forum
(WEF) in Davos.
"And what I am saying is that the new administration will do everything
possible to ensure the family lives in peace, undisturbed."
Mnangagwa disputed reports that Robert Mugabe had been given a $10 million pay-off, saying: "No, that is in the press."
"There is no figure. It is a question of he continues to enjoy his salary, his allowances as
before, offices, security, secretariat, things of that nature, travel by first
class," he said.
"We will also facilitate him going to Singapore for medical check ups, all those things."
Mnangagwa took over as Zimbabwe's head of state after the ousting of
long-time president Mugabe in November.
The 93-year-old Mugabe, who had been at the helm of the country for 37 years,
resigned under pressure from his Zanu-PF, the army and the public.
