EMBATTLED former Information deputy minister Energy Mutodi is yet to receive his suspension papers, thereby slowing his disciplinary hearing, NewsDay Weekender has learnt.

Mutodi was removed as a provincial Zanu PF member at a meeting held in Murewa the same week.

According to a Zanu PF official from Mashonaland East, Mutodi is yet to receive the prohibition order issued out by the provincial executive committee (PEC) as he is currently in his home area of

Masvingo.

Provincial disciplinary committee chairperson Michael Madanha yesterday confirmed that Mutodi was not around despite his office having done all the necessary papers to serve the former deputy minister.

“The last time I checked, the office personnel could not serve him the papers as he was away in his home area, in Bikita and there was no need to follow him there.
