By A Correspondent| Following government’s climbdown from an earlier pronouncement that some people will pay for the vaccine, Zimbabweans have demanded answers on the rollout plan for vaccines procured using tax-payers money.

Fiery journalist Hopewell Chin’ono said Professor Ncube had not clarified anything demanding a government position on how vaccines procured using taxpayers’ money will be rolled out.

“Finance Minister @MthuliNcube has NOT clarified anything! This statement says Vaccines procured through donors will be freely available! That is not THE issue! The REAL issue is WHY should Vaccines bought by TAX money be sold. He is silent on that point in this statement,” Chin’ono said.

Political commentator, Dr Pedzisai Ruhanya reinforced Chin’ono’s question saying the issue was not about donated vaccines but those procured by the central government.

“Dear @MthuliNcube read these two. You are lying even more. If not, please state what gov will do when it purchases the COVID-19 vaccines,” said Ruhanya.

Kudzai Mutisi questioned government’s poor communication saying they should allow experts to do it rather always fire-fighting.

“When??? The government is too slow… Zero sense of urgency… Poor communication… If you can’t do it, leave it to those who can act… The non-existent experts will take a whole year to decide on a suitable vaccine… You can’t be a government that’s always trailing others, that’s crap,” Mutisi questioned.
