Voter registration dominates Cabinet

Voter registration again dominated cabinet discussions this week as it became more apparent that bureaucratic bungling and systematic disenfranchisement of potential voters by the Registrar-General's office is continuing unabated, resulting in ministers resolving that teachers countrywide be involved in the exercise.

Government sources told the Zimbabwe Independent after noting that Registrar-General Tobaiwa Mudede and registry officials countrywide had failed to implement various cabinet directives, aimed at removing bottlenecks militating against the smooth running of the registration exercise, cabinet this week resolved that voter registration becomes a standing cabinet agenda item.
