Annual budget gone in 3 months


HARARE
As the Zanu (PF) regime searches for scapegoats and enemies all over, the bottom line is that huge expenditure by Mugabe's administration has contributed immensely towards the prevailing hyperinflation.
The bloated size of government chewed up its budgeted expenditure only three


months into the year and has not only been increasing in size since then, but also spending lavishly on expensive vehicles and other perks to reward party loyalists.
One of the major causes of high rates of inflation, according to the World Bank, is massive government expenditure – especially if that government then prints money willy-nilly.
Mugabe has one of the largest government structures in the world, with 37 cabinet members, 22 deputy ministers and permanent secretaries for 34 ministries, as well as 10 provincial governors.
