David Coltart has dismissed claims that he has postulated that MDC A leader Nelson Chamisa will never revive the country’s economy.

Coltart described a report published by a state run daily newspaper as “disgusting lies.”

“This is utterly shameful, gutter, reporting…

The headline is a total distortion of what I said – in fact I said the complete opposite. In the interview I said that ZANU PF has no capacity to rectify the economy and that they have created such a mess that it will take hard work and time to undo their mess.

I would not have agreed to stand for TG of the MDC if I didn’t have absolute faith in
Nelson Chamisa to lead Zimbabwe to a new dawn,” said Coltart.

“One final point – the Chronicle continues to be in brazen and willful breach of Section 61(4) of the Constitution, which requires all State media publications to be impartial. The editor and journalist who wrote this headline -should be ashamed of such lies,” added Coltart.
