The recent call by the MDC-T spokesperson, Obert Gutu, urging International Monetary Fund (IMF), to demand fair polls as a pre-condition for extending loans to Zimbabwe, is a shameful development from a bonafide citizen of this country.
Gutu needs elementary lessons on patriotism, so that he can at least; appreciate the imperative need to save the country from sinking further into abyss after his MDC-T party coerced and cajoled the west to impose illegal sanctions on the country more than a decade and a half ago.
All this was propelled by the insatiable desire to attain power. It is really amazing to note that MCD-T is still harbours the propensity to pursue the sabotage agendas to cripple the nation as a gate-way to power. In fact, as a matter of natural principle, all citizens are under natural obligation to defend Zimbabwe's interests as opposed to ruffling state's feathers for purposes of achieving narrow political gains.
Everyone is looking forward to seeing the government meeting the pledge to pay up the 1, 8 billion dollars to IMF. This would enable the nation to get a new lease of life by getting new lines of credit. The loans are expected to make a vast difference to our economy as it anticipated that it would stimulate growth in the productive sectors of the economy. While frantic effort is put to rescue the ailing economy for public good, some rowdy citizens like Gutu are busy plotting the downfall of the same nation. Certainly such people are guilty of treasonous charges.
If all is said in enerst, clearance of the outstanding 1, 8 billion as an IMF pre-condition, so why would Gutu prescribe a new pre-condition which is weird, irrelevant and farfetched? After all, the next polls are expected two years later in 2018. Supposedly the debt is cleared by April 2016, what is the justification for withholding loans as per agreement? It is really absurd! Gutu should restore his sanity and realign his perspectives on Zimbabweans' interests.
Zimbabweans are interested in people who construct the nation not its destroyers. Gutu and his MDC-T are not even ashamed of the devastating effects of illegal sanctions in which they are the infamous proponents. Aren't they aware of how ordinary citizens have sustained their ugly effects since 2001?
Certainly if they are humane, they should build mercy on their fellow country persons and apologize to the whole nation for God's sake, lest hell is awaiting them on the judgement day.
