HARARE It has been alleged that Zanu (PF) has intentions of raising money for its various recovery projects by using the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP). This plan was revealed in a party document in possession of The Zimbabwean entitled Reinvigorating the Party.
According to the document, Zanu (PF) has come up with several plans to raise funds. The document also outlines plans to infiltrate private media organisations in a bid to destabilise them.
The broke party has allegedly approached state organs, such as the police, to help with fundraising efforts. Commissioner General Augustine Chihuri is one of Mugabe’s most trusted lieutenants who last year blocked the ministry of Public Service from carrying out an audit of the cosmopolitan force, widely regarded by Mugabe’s critics as an extension of Zanu (PF).
It is stated in the document that the ZRP would raise the money through fines.
“We propose that the party use the state organs to mobilise and raise funds as Zanu (PF) is the only party that has the mandate of governing Zimbabwe.
Exercises can be started for various offences under the Miscellaneous Offences Act which will rack in thousands of dollars that will be channelled
to the party. For instance, such offences as public drinking. Our police will become rigorous and intensive in prosecuting the various offenders at bottle stores who are made to pay fines of US$5.00 per person and the offending bottle store US$20,” it says in the document.
Zanu (PF) has also instructed police to arrest people for public smoking a fine of US$20. People who paste posters on builders will also be made to pay US$50.
