A political commentator Vince Musewe has said there is Lack of economic solutions to the problems created by Zanu PF amid interventions by various financial institutions have failed to bring back Zimbabwe's economy to its feet.

"I must repeat my assertion that Zimbabwe does not have a lack of economic solutions to the problems created by Zanu PF. We have had 14 economic blue prints since 1980 and other international organisations such as the African Development Bank have done numerous studies on the economy and what needs to happen," he said.

"For me therefore coming up with an economic blueprint to revive the economy does not need a rocket scientist. The solutions are out there for all to see. What we need to spend time thinking about are the necessary structural and governance issues. We need to create new social economic and political systems and institutions which are values driven and structured systemically to create optimum results. We need to create a national compelling vision of the future that is simple and achievable."

He said for example which ministries will be necessary and how should they operate.

"How do we ensure performance and delivery within public institutions and how do we budget? At national or provincial level? What will be the best taxation methodology to maximise revenues without stifling growth. How do we ensure inclusive growth with accountability. How do we attract skills back to the country and with what soft landing incentives for Zimbabweans in the Diaspora and so on?" he said.

"In other words our conversations about the future must be deeper more clinical and more about systems than just policies. There is much to be done!"
