Was the party aware that these people were receiving these inputs? Did the individuals themselves declare that they had been given these inputs? What else have they been given that we may not be aware of? These answers must be given.
Without pre-judging the case, MDC leaders need to show that they are different from Zanu (PF) – right from the start. Their activities must be subject to scrutiny
We expect them to behave better than the rotten lot that have brought our country to its knees.
We urge the party leadership to take speedy and decisive action to investigate these allegations thoroughly. And the results of their investigations must be made available to the people of Zimbabwe. Without delay.
The people expect the MDC to be different from Zanu (PF). We demand that they be different. Any hint of corruption within the ranks must be dealt with severely, or Zimbabweans will speedily lose faith in the MDC as they have lost faith in Zanu (PF).
May we suggest that the MDC set up a register of gifts and inducements offered and received from any quarter and demand that its MPs declare all such dealings transparently. This system works well in other countries.
Anyone who fails to adhere to this system should then be booted out with no further ado. We do not want such people involved in resurrecting our country – they will simply become part of the problem rather than part of the solution.
Zimbabweans want, and deserve, honest and upright citizens to lead them from now onwards. We have experienced corruption at its worst and we are not prepared to exchange one lot of greedy, selfish politicians for another.
This is Morgan Tsvangirai's first acid test as Prime Minister. People will be watching him closely. He has our good will and that of the entire nation. He should not squander it. There are plenty of good people willing to step into the shoes of those who show themselves too greedy to serve Zimbabwe in positions of leadership.

He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. – Rev. 21 vs. 6-7
