By Own Correspondent| Independent legislator for Norton Temba Mliswa has called on President Emmerson Mnangagwa to take charge of the Finance and Economic Development ministry which is currently headed by Mthuli Ncube until things stabilise.

Mliswa said that current finance minister, Ncube was playing with people’s lives due to his inconsistencies.

Mliswa also echoed former Finance Minister Tendai Biti’s sentiments that former Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa was better.

There have been shortages of basic goods and prices of the commodities have been rising while foreign currency exchange rates have been spiralling ever since Ncube and Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) governor John Mandgudya made policy announcements when presenting the fiscal policies and the mid-term monetary policy.

Writing on Twitter, Mliswa said:

“It’s about time President Emmerson Mnangagwa puts (the) Ministry of Finance under his ambit until things stabilise, he’s capable. Mthuli Ncube has displayed too many policy inconsistencies and must stop playing with the country. If this is what Mthuli Ncube is about then Patrick Chinamasa was better!”
