Terrence Mawawa|MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa has said President Emmerson Mnangagwa’ s failure to resolve the political crisis in the country will trigger further economic woes.

” The bottom line is that there is a legitimacy problem and that
problem will not be resolved by a Cabinet.

It’s a political problem, which is almost an economic problem. For the country to go ahead, this is what
needs to be sorted out first. Rushing to put up a Cabinet, even if you are going to assemble a Cabinet
from another planet, it will not resolve the fundamental problems that are affecting the country
because government is about the consent between the governed and the governing,” said Chamisa in interview with a daily paper.

“Now when the governing chooses to forsake and tear away the interests of the governed — it’s a broken covenant, it’s a broken promise and broken trust.
Where there is no trust, confidence and legitimacy, it doesn’t matter how much we do.

We must resolve the fundamental question of the day which is the will
of the people. It is the very reason why we went to the Constitutional Court and the very reason why we
are saying there has to be a political solution to the problems. Hiding behind a Cabinet and inaugurating
oneself as Mnangagwa did will not resolve the question.

Zimbabwe is entrapped in a vicious cycle of disputed elections and legitimacy questions and
government crisis. We must be able to extricate our country and pull it out of this cycle of disputed
elections,” added Chamisa.
