In an interview with Chronicle yesterday, MDC Alliance spokesperson Professor Welshman
Ncube confirmed that the Nelson Chamisa-led coalition does not have money to sustain its election agents during the elections.

Ncube said the coalition had resorted to recruiting agents who would not need transport fares to cut
costs.Said Ncube:

The issue of polling agents requires
funding, a lot of money over two to
three days. We will clearly need
whatever support we can get. Some
candidates are also able to support and sustain their agents. At the
constituency and ward level we have
people who have volunteered to cook
for the polling agents, who will deliver food from the village. We have volunteers where transport will be required.

MDC-T deputy treasury general Mr Chalton Hwende appealed for funds yesterday through his Twitter account. Said Hwende:
“Zimbabweans we need your help to
finish the struggle. We still need your
hand in feeding our polling agents.
Donate $5 and adopt one election
agent. We have a total of 45 000
elections agents throughout the
country.”
