We’ll investigate basic goods scarcity: Govt

GOVERNMENT says it needs more time to investigate the disappearance of basic goods in supermarkets and retail shops.

During a question-and-answer session in the National Assembly, Mpopoma-Mzilikazi legislator Charles Moyo (Citizens Coalition for Change) asked what measures government had put in place to curtail the disappearance of basic commodities from supermarkets as well as stabilising prices in both local and foreign currencies.

Leader of government business in Parliament, Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi (pictured) said the ministry would analyse the situation to verify whether goods are actually disappearing from shop shelves.
