By Own Correspondent| Zanu Pf’s Secretary for Administration, Obert Mpofu has revealed that the economic policy pronouncement by Finance minister Mthuli Ncube was done without proper consultation, a development which had proved costly for the ruling party to justify the price increases which had drastically shot in the past few days.

Mpofu said his party was currently engaging retailers in a move aimed at bringing back sanity to the country’s economy and pricing system.

Said Mpofu in an interview with the national broadcaster:

“It becomes very difficult to explain to our members how and why this is happening.

The price increases have nothing to do with any economic issues….. it is unacceptable.

These acts of increasing prices are done in front of the people the buyers. While they are busy quibbling, we are saying people should be allowed to buy whatever they want form other countries to ensure availability of goods.

It’s just as simple. The situation has been normal until a few days ago when we witnessed this sudden chaotic behaviour.

We (as Zanu Pf) brought in the retailers, the CZI and ZNCC. We hope that government will come and explain why certain measures were being brought when there was no consensus.

On the causes of the mayhem, it shows that perhaps no proper consultations were done. No we cannot allow that.”
