MDC-T secretary general Douglas Mwonzora has said according to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission Rita Makarau, government has not yet taken over the purchasing of the Barometric Voters kits.
Mwonzora posted on Facebook that they received two letters from the Chairperson of ZEC, Justice Rita Makarau.
"In the first letter she said that ZEC was committed to dialogue with political parties. She however said calls to disband ZEC were outside her mandate. In the second letter she stated that government had not taken over the procurement of the BVR kits," he said.
"She stated that the supplier of the kits would be picked only from those shortlisted by UNDP. Once the supplier is chosen political parties would be allowed to inspect them."
Mwonzora said they reiterate that the procurement process by UNDP must not be interrupted.
"We want transparency. We thank all the comrades who stood up against the attempts by government to take over the BVR kits procurement process. We hail the demonstration that took place on Wednesday. It was not in vein. We shall continue keeping our eyes open to ensure that it is not government which will seek to procure these kits. We will continue the fight. Together we will win. Victory is Certain," he said.
