Farai Dziva|The MDC has written a letter to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission expressing concern at the high incidence of vote buying by Zanu PF.

Below is MDC Secretary for Welfare, Maureen Kademaunga’s statement on the matter:

MDC Secretary-General Charlton Hwende has written to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), raising concern over the politicisation of State institutions after Zanu PF instructed NatPham to disburse medicine in Lupane East constituency ahead of the upcoming by-election.

Early this month, Zanu PF commissar Victor Matemadanda wrote to Health minister Obediah Moyo asking for medicines to beef up their campaign in Lupane East. In turn, Moyo instructed his permanent secretary to act on the request with NatPham.

The move has drawn widespread condemnation among various stakeholders, who felt the abuse of State institutions must not have a place in modern times.

Yesterday, the MDC raised the matter with ZEC.
