Zim govt not broke but lacks shame- ZimFirst leader

The ZimFirst leader Maxwell Shumba has claimed that the government of Zimbabwe has money but and he can deny that it is broke as claimed.

He said  the government is not broke but lacks shame.

"I was asked recently about my thoughts on the impending drought which might end up costing Zimbabwean lives due to hunger. My answer was simple : This government has money to feed the nation. NADA I refuse to accept its broke . The government is not broke, it has enough money to feed everyone! They know where they hid the people's money and can easily retrieve it and prioritize properly the resources which are yet to be stashed or abused," he said.

"Here is my observation: If this government was broke they could not have afforded Mugabe's holidays in foreign lands. By the way in 2015 his leisure trips with his family and friends used US$50 million from government coffers. If the government was broke VP Phelekezela Mphoko could not be staying in a hotel suite for 365 days and still counting with his family at a cost of about US$600 per day. If the government was broke it could not have afforded to splash US$20 million on ministers cars; ministers who each have nothing to show for the people's investment in them."

He said under their watch "we have now have a nation best described as a basket case."

"If this government was indeed broke it could not have on its payroll hundreds of thousands of loafers employed as CIO operatives whose role has no benefit to the nation but has a sole existence to make sure Mugabe retains his political power Employed to instill fear into the populace by killing and maiming to help him maintain his large lifestyle grip on power ( in fact it's sad to note that the only department currently on hiring spree in our nation of 95% unemployment rate is the CIO)," said Shumba.

"Droughts affects many all nations but they are not supposed to be a national calamity or in any stretch a cause for alarm in well functioning economies. Preparedness, right prioritization of resources can actually make a drought pass by without notice or much ado from the populace. Well governed nations are always prepared for such eventualities."

Shumba said it's not too late for this errant government save the people from the impending hunger and Instead of stupidly calling people to prayer they should go and get our diamonds money from wherever they hid it and starting importing grain to begin to build our grain reserves.

"(President Robert) Mugabe should come back home pronto and stay put at home. VP Mphoko should get out of that hotel and find somewhere cheaper and decent to stay. There are plenty such places. That will save the country a lot of money which can be used to import grain," said Shumba.

The government should retire all the and create a new lean and professional secret service answerable to parliament. The police and army should stop mining operations and get out of Chiadzwa diamond mines to allow proper accounting of our mineral wealth.There are several other things which can be added to this which this government can do to save the nation from a hunger this year. No prayer will do it."
He insisted that this government is not broke.

" Each of these men and women who have held our country hostage for 35 years have stashes of government money hidden in foreign banks. The money is there do not be fooled. It's holed up somewhere . If our people die of hunger while the money stashed in foreign banks, one day they will be called to answer for this. There will be justice for the people one day. In a nutshell, the solution to the oncoming drought is simple. The government should start importing food for people using the money they illegally stashed," he said.
 
"We do not have financial bankruptcy in our country but bankruptcy of ideas and a lack of shame. The leaders of this government are morally bankrupt.

A ZimFirst government will be prepared at all times to deal with any national disaster."
