MDC-Alliance leader Mr Nelson Chamisa is not a “Messiah” or the answer to the current economic challenges since the role to fix the
economy is the responsibility of all
Zimbabweans regardless of political
affiliation, Government has said.

Deputy Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet (Presidential Communications), who is also the Presidential spokesperson George Charamba, said yesterday that

implementation of good economic principles by all Zimbabweans was the only solution to the economic challenges facing the nation.

“I pity Chamisa because he is being vested with Messianic powers which he doesn’t wield,” said Charamba.

“At one level, he is supposed to be conferring legitimacy to the winner of 2018 elections, now I notice he is supposed to be the panacea to spurring the economy.
“This one young politician with a mortal life being vested with all these powers – God help us. He is a mere man and an erring man like all mortals. The economy of this country will be turned around by the hands of the citizens of this nation.

“There is no magic wand, there is no Messiah, only principles of good economics and these are what are being followed by the Government. There is a very clear strategy enunciated in the Monetary Policy, buttressed by the Fiscal Policy and both expressing themselves in the context of a Transitional Plan. Those are the instruments for spurring
the economy forward, not a mere
individual.”- Chronicle
