Government yesterday described as "reckless, unlawful and contemptuous" the recent statement by Finance deputy minister Terrence Mukupe that the military would not allow MDC-T presidential candidate, Nelson Chamisa to rule if he wins this year's polls.

Mukupe, who is Zanu-PF parliamentary candidate for Harare East, made the remarks at a campaign meeting in the constituency on Monday.

In a statement, acting Information minister Simon Khaya Moyo said Mukupe's statement was unconstitutional and contemptuous of President Emmerson Mnangagwa's office.
