Losing parliamentary candidate for Mt Pleasant constituency, Advocate Fadzayi Mahere has lashed at government for putting up a crowdfunding campaign when they recently splashed money on private jet used to ferry former First Lady, Grace Mugabe from Singapore as well as executive cars for ministers and parliamentarians.
Responding to the new minister of Finance, Professor Mthuli Ncube’s post about crowdfunding for cholera outbreak, Mahere said if government cannot prioritize funding public health in the midst of a crisis, the country is going nowhere.
How does a govt that splurges on jets & cars crowdfund for a national emergency? Does the right to life mean nothing at all to this new administration? If you can’t prioritize funding public health in the midst of a crisis, we are going nowhere very quickly. This is an insult. https://t.co/Yp03xXJJ1D
