Terrence Mawawa|The MDC A has castigated the Emmerson Mnangagwa led government for blowing $2 million on posh vehicles at a time the nation is grappling with biting economic challenges.

Below is the MDC A statement:
The Zanu PF government has continued to prove its insatiable hunger for cars with a reckless splashing of millions of dollars on top of the range vehicles for
Ministers.

Before the election they spent millions on cars for traditional leaders in a self-preservation exercise.

Recently a million dollar vehicle was bought for Mnangagwa who in his first days as President pretended to be a humble head of state.

While they are spending millions on cars, the budget deficit continues to balloon exposing the rhetoric on
expenditure retrenchment.

Presently, there are more pressing issues.The pharmaceutical sector, for instance, has announced that only a month’s supply of drugs
remains. A caring government could have, at least, channeled resources towards drugs procurement.

There is a crippling cholera outbreak and a doctor’s strike, part of which is a result of promises that were not honoured.

Cars are therefore more important than the lives of the citizens.
They now preside over a vampire state which devours its own people. They pursue a narrow agenda of self-aggrandizement which is why they
were rejected by the people of Zimbabwe.
It is time to end a rule of scoundrels and gangsters who use the state as an arena of personal enrichment.
Behold the New. Change that Delivers!
