Farai Dziva|The APEX council has urged the government to identify and address the root cause of the country’s economic problems.

In a statement the chairperson of the Apex Council, Cecilia Alexander said while addressing the plight of its workers, the government should come up with permanent solutions to the economic crisis.

“There is a need to revive the Tripartite Negotiating Forum (TNF).

The government must bring stability using its powers to deal with the issue of prices.

Even if we are going to get $5 000 each in salaries and the market reacts, we have a problem. This is an economic crisis.

There is a need for discipline in the business sector as some are profiteering from the situation, some are even charging in US dollars yet they are paying their workers in RTGS$,” said Alexander.
