Washington queries Mugabe's 'bloated' delegation

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has reportedly arrived in New York for the UN General Assembly amid reports that he travelled with a bloated entourage of more than 70 people, including his family. News Day reports that opposition parties in Zimbabwe have slammed the move. 'This just goes to show that Zimbabwe has now been reduced into a Mugabe family fiefdom. We are now a de facto Mugabe (Private) Limited company. The State has been captured by the Mugabe family. Robert Mugabe is the chief executive officer and his wife, Grace, is the chief operating officer,' said MDC spokesperson, Obert Gutu. Legalbrief reports that Washington last week queried the inclusion of Mugabe's family in his entourage of more than 70 people. The General Assembly is being held under the theme: Focusing on People Striving for Peace and Decent Life for All on Sustainable Planet.
