The Zanu-PF Government, under the leadership of President Mnangagwa, is committed to ensuring the timely completion of all projects initiated under the Second Republic. Additionally, the government aims to expedite the modernization and industrialization of rural areas, prioritizing them for funding from devolution and related funds. This approach aligns with the goal of leaving no place or individual behind.
Speaking during the 20th annual people's conference of the revolutionary party in Gweru, President Mnangagwa emphasized the transformative impact of the party's devolution agenda, which empowers local communities to decide on development priorities in their respective areas. Unlike the past, where decision-making was centralized in the capital, Harare, devolution allows funds to be disbursed to local authorities across the country to support a range of community-driven development projects. These projects include the construction of healthcare facilities, schools, roads, boreholes, and irrigation schemes for the benefit of local communities.
President Mnangagwa reaffirmed the government's commitment to delivering quality services and ensuring the timely completion of projects, in line with the Second Republic's culture. He described devolution and decentralization as a reflection of the enduring revolutionary philosophy of "power to the people."
Furthermore, President Mnangagwa highlighted that devolution is a way for Zanu-PF to repay the public for their support during the armed struggle against repressive colonial rule under Ian Smith. He emphasized the importance of addressing the needs and development aspirations of rural communities, as well as harnessing their unique advantages to accelerate rural industrialization.
The President noted that government ministries and their agencies will collaborate closely with traditional leaders to ensure the effective implementation of devolution projects on the ground. He praised traditional leaders for their role in fostering peace, unity, and national development.
In conclusion, President Mnangagwa stated that the conference's theme, "Towards Vision 2030 through Devolution, Industrialization, and Modernization," serves as a powerful motivator for every Zanu-PF cadre to maintain focus and consistency in implementing programs and projects that enhance the quality of life within communities.
