Zanu-PF is concerned with the unjustified hiking of prices of basic commodities and the shortage of certain goods being experienced
in the country, which the party expects to end soon as Government is dealing with the situation.
Speaking during an inter-district meeting in Bindura on Saturday, Zanu-PF national political commissar Engelbert Rugeje said the party did not understand what was causing the unjustified price increases of
most basic commodities.
“As the ruling party, we are concerned about the unjustified price increases and shortages of certain commodities that are currently
being experienced in the country, but we are optimistic that things will normalise as Government is taking several measures to deal with the problem,” he said.
“Efforts are underway to attract foreign investment.”
Rugeje said Government was looking
into the causes of the price hikes.
“The party is failing to understand what is triggering these price hikes,” he said. “Is it because they are not happy with Zanu-PF’s victory during the just-ended elections or is it because of mere cruelty?
“The Government is looking at these issues to find a lasting solution. We now have a new Minister of Finance, who is an expert in the finance sector, and we are also now trying to
mend relations with a lot of countries which

used to be hostile to us.”- state media
