MDC-T Secretary General, Douglas Mwonzora, will be giving a talk on the new Zimbabwe constitution at Fabian Society in London this Saturday. He has a lot of questions MDC leaders have pointed refused to answer since the rigged July 2013 elections that saw most MDC leaders kicked off gravy train. Will Comrade Mwonzora finally answer these questions!
Comrade Mwonzora was the co-chairperson of the Constitution Parliamentary Select Committee (COPAC) that drafted the new constitution. He would know the committee spent five years, over $100 million and God knows what else besides writing the new constitution. Comrade Mwonzora led the MDC team in promising and assuring the nation repeatedly that the new constitution would deliver free, fair and credible elections. MDC asked the people to approve it in the March 2013 referendum and so the people voted Yes by a convincing 95% margin!
We all know now that the July 2013 elections were NOT free, fair and credible; Zanu-PF "stole" the elections as MDC leaders have readily admitted.
Now Comrade Mwonzora; are you going to finally admit that the Copac constitution did not deliver free and fair elections because it is not the democratic constitution it was supposed?
You had lied about the Copac constitution to hide the fact that MDC had failed to implement even one of the raft of democratic reforms all had agreed were necessary for free and fair elections. Are you going to finally admit that you and your fellow MDC leaders did not implement even one reform because "you were too busy enjoying yourselves in the GNU and forgot why you were there", as SADC Heads so aptly put it?
Comrade Mwonzora you and your fellow MDC friends betrayed the nation by failing to implement even one reform. You do not regret that you failed the nation nor are you sorry that the people are suffering so under this corrupt and tyrannical Zanu-PF dictatorship. You only regret is that you and many of your MDC friends were kicked off the gravy train.
Do you really believe the people of Zimbabwe will vote you, Tsvangirai and the rest of the MDC leaders back into office knowing, as many of them now do, that MDC sold-out during the GNU? You lot must think all Zimbabweans are idiots whom you can con again and again!
