Zanu PF impoverished Binga-Biti

The underdevelopment in Binga is proof of ZANUPF failure and lack of care, President Biti has said.

Addressing a rally at Siachilaba business centre in Binga Mr Biti said " The poverty we see today reflects that the 37 years of independence in the country has not done anything to improve the lives of the people in Binga, maybe there is need for real independence to visit the district."  
He told the meeting that underdevelopment was just but an indicator of ZANUPF maladministration and incompetence.
"The people of Binga therefore have the right to ask the question as to how much it costs to be a citizen of Zimbabwe; as a matter of fact people in Binga are not citizens because Mubabe and ZANUPF have decided to make them 14th class citizens."
Mr Biti said ZANUPF have created a reason for a revisit of the National Question of what it means to be a minority whether Nambia or TONGA because ZANUPF has clearly failed to address the demands of the National issue.
"There fact that Binga is lagging behind in terms of development by all indicators qualifies the validity of the point on devolution which is the best way to deal with uneven development not only in Binga but in most marginalized places."
In a raft of solutions the President argued that for Binga to catch up with the rest of the country there was need for education to be free in Binga and for Binga students so as to produce Medical Doctors and Engineers who would accelerate growth in the community.
He also demanded the scrapping of fishing licenses for the people of Binga who are paying a fee of US$20 to sell fish even when they catch just two breams.
The President was in the Company of National Chairperson Lucia Gladys Matibenga, National Youth Chairperson Moses Manyengavana National Secretary of International Relations Willias Madzimure, Provincial Chairperson Eugene Dube.
