Jane Mlambo| Presidential spokesperson, George Charamba has told the Daily News that opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa’s decision to snub an invitation for dialogue at the State House was thoughtless.

Charamba said dialogue will process with or without Chamisa who made his position clear on why he will not be shepherded into negotiations before resolving legitimacy issues.

“As far as we are concerned, the question to us is, firstly, was that decision taken by Chamisa thoughtful and secondly whether it was independent? I would say it was thoughtless, the dialogue will proceed with or without him, except we don’t shut doors, we don’t shut windows, whenever he feels he wants to join, he will still be welcome, except he cannot hold the nation to ransom because he is not the summation of the nation.

“If he is having difficulties with his external constituency, which as of yesterday (Wednesday) had not given him the nod to participate, that is a matter for him and his donors to deal with. He should never globalise his predicament because the economy has to move on,” said Charamba.
