Farai Dziva|Zanu PF has begun to belittle MDC Alliance president Nelson Chamisa, calling him “Secretary for Policy and Research” in a desperate attempt to discredit the youthful politician.

Surprisingly, Zanu PF accused Chamisa of “instructing MPs and councillors to distribute food aid to card- carrying MDC members.”

Political analysts say Zanu PF’ s line of argument reflects desperate measures to dilute the MDC leader’s growing influence.The argument is fraught with contradictions, according to political observers.

Zanu PF tweeted :MDC Alliance Secretary for Policy and Research
@nelsonchamisa is said to have ordered MDC MPs and notorious councillors to overlook deserving beneficiaries of global aid, demanding MDC-cards for one to have their name enlisted as a beneficiary of donated basics.

This Must Stop!
This trend has been observed in Highfields East and West, Harare East and Mabvuku.

This is in direct violation of President’s Directive to stop patronizing relief aid.

Meanwhile, ZANU PF MPs have been reminded to work with people in their constituencies regardless of political color.”

Commenting on the ruling party’s assertion, Masvingo based political analyst Jeffryson Chitando said:” Zanu PF is desperate to denigrate Chamisa.Zanu PF officials are losing sleep over Chamisa’ s growing influence.The argument is a smorgasbord of contradictions and half-truths. Can a secretary instruct MPs and councillors to do something?This is a weak line of argument.”
