 The Cash Crisis has caused untold suffering to the people of Zimbabwe. We note that it is not the first time the Governor has made these remarks. At the Zanu (PF) Extra- Ordinary Congress he made these remarks in front of the Head of State, Politburo and Central Committee members of Zanu (PF). The MDC Parliamentary Caucus strongly believes that this is a serious matter which needs urgent and due attention given the magnitude of the national Cash Crisis and therefore calls on the Parliamentary Committee to expeditiously deal with this matter in the interest of the nation.
The Parliamentary Committee on Finance and Budget, with all the immunity and privileges granted to its witnesses is indeed the rightful platform for such disclosures to be made. MDC Parliamentary Caucus calls on the Finance and Budget Committee to urgently convene a meeting and invite the Governor to name these cash barons. As representative of the people, the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee has the duty and obligation to protect, defend and effectively represent the people. It is criminal that those who are in the employ of the State, charged with the duty to service the people, can be so cruel to inflict such intense suffering to the very people they were entrusted to service. The Governor’s offer to name and shame the thieves and criminals amongst us must be taken very seriously in light of the gravity of the matter. We specifically call upon the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Finance and Budget Committee, Hon. David Butau MP to immediately convene the Committee and invite the Governor.
