VICE PRESIDENT CONSTANTINO GUVHEYA CHIWENGA’S POLITICAL HYPOCRISY AND SELFISHNESS UNEARTHED, MDC ALLIANCE NAMIBIA NOTED WITH FURY.

Mdc Alliance Namibia is greatly transfixed by the political hypocrisy and selfishness exhibited in the clueless Zanupf regime.

Barely some few some months after publicly banning health tourism , ailing Chiwenga has been flown out to China for his routine medical check up. After pretending to be objective and sensitive to the financial implications of relying on foreign hospitals for medical services, the desperate Zanupf Vice President and Health Minister declared that government will no longer provide foreign currency to assist cabinet ministers to globe trot hunting medical treatment in sophisticated health facilities in the diaspora.

As an external Mdc Alliance district, we want to castigate this futile attempt to hoodwink the unsuspecting masses by paddling political lies. The nation has to know that Zanupf will never transform its corrupt tendencies.

Moreso, it is quite pathetic and illogical for our Health Minister to abandon his own hospitals which are dilapidated in favour of those in the diaspora because they are well taken care of by the host governments. We would like to urge Zanupf morons to revamp the health fraternity to benefit the general citizenry.

The Health Minister must learn to walk his talk, he must realise that it’s no longer time for political rhetoric but real delivery of his intentions to change the ugly face of our health sector. It is imperative to point out that the sorry state of our hospitals and clinics emanate from the stinking corruption and nepotism practised with impunity. Former Health Minister Obadiah Moyo looted US$60 million Covid-19 funds but he was not even detained only to be given 50 000 RTGS as his bail.

The amount could have gone a long way in assisting our people.

Moreover, Moyo Obadiah is walking free as we speak right now. Zanupf leaders must respect the basic human rights which includes basic health care and right to life. They must commence to pay more attention to the sanctity of human life by investing more on renovating the torn and tattered health fraternity to avert unnecessary expenditure by the government through careless financing of hospital bills to Zanupf officials.

Addressing journalists in his capacity as Health Minister, he reluctantly uttered that the state had halted footing the medical bills of all senior government officials in order to maintain the national medical bill. To quote him verbatim he said, “We will not export our patients . We will not make referrals to our patients. Altogether, the export bill was too high and that is what we want to do away with”. This is a clear reflection that some animals are more equal than others and this makes Zimbabwe epitomise “a new Animal Farm” owned by insensitive Zanupf morons where inequality has become a national religion.

To wind up, Mdc Alliance Namibia condemns this selective application of the law with all its organs. Zanupf must begin to respect our national coffers. Our hospitals are being plundered by greedy and the insatiable appetite for personal egos in a frustrated regime that does not want to ensure the existence of equal health facilities for all. We demand that Chiwenga and his cronies should make sure that the basic health facilities are gotten in the country.
