Mugabe's words on Government policy are final

Government spokesperson Professor Jonathan has said the reinstatement of civil servants' bonuses announced by President Mugabe during the 35th independence celebrations over the weekend is final and there should be no further debate on the matter.

Prof Moyo said yesterday that President Mugabe's words on Government policy were final.

His remarks come in the wake of attempts by some sections of the private media to ridicule the Government by making wild allegations that the "centre no longer holds".

 This was after President Mugabe reversed an earlier announcement by Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa that Government had suspended civil servants' bonuses for the next two years.

Chinamasa has since acknowledged that the announcement was due to procedural mistakes.

In light of this, Prof Moyo said "the only people who don't make mistakes are those who do nothing or who have nothing to do.
