Farai Dziva|MDC A deputy chairperson Tendai Biti has sensationally said the country is in the hands of “bandits and highway robbers”

The former Finance Minister does not have kind words to describe the operations of the Emmerson Mnangagwa led administration.

Biti accused the government of openly stealing from the suffering and hard- pressed people of Zimbabwe.

“So legally Emmerson and his lot , have conspired , not only to devalue bank balances and wages but to cynically decimate and obliterate same by calling the RTGS $ a virtual currency .

This is surely is a bandit State presided over by bandits and highway robbers,” said Biti yesterday.

He added:”The Presidential Decree , SI 33 of 2019 ,authorizes the RBZ to issue “electronic currency” in Zim. More fraudulently it declares that the RTGS $ is an “ electronic currency “ and that all bond and RTGS balances
of the effective date ( 22 Feb) are “electronic.”

Biti also poured cold water on claims by the government that the measures taken by the Reserve of Zimbabwe to revive the economy will be fruitful. He dismissed the whole thing as a circus.
