ACTING President Dr Kembo Mohadi yesterday met Turkish investors at his offices in Harare, where they discussed multi-million dollar potential investment deals in the energy sector. The Turkish delegation was led by Akin Atilla Sahinli, the chairperson of Sahinli Construction Company. Mr Sahinli said the delegation intends to invest in strategic infrastructure, particularly in power generation. “We discussed power projects and infrastructure, all kinds of infrastructure projects we are interested in. We want to be a partner in the development of Zimbabwe and we want to do a lot of things which will be good for this country,” he said. Mr Sahinli indicated that they are planning to start their investment journey within the coming few months after necessary consultations and surveys have been done. He said the delegation will also hold ministerial engagements in the coming months. “Within a couple of months, we will be here. With our experts, we will make necessary surveys and projects for implementation. We will all start with our partners with investments of around 10 million euros in power projects,” he said. The Turkish investors were accompanied by ZANU PF Politburo member and businessman Cde Kenneth Musanhi, who was representing the Special Presidential Advisor on Monitoring and Implementation of Government Projects and Programmes Adviser Joram Gumbo.
