The strength of the MDC and its Alliance is that it holds the key to unlocking confidence on the market. Market watchers have a legitimate rational expectation that like before, the MDC Alliance will bring macro-economic and fiscal stability to the economy.
Voters are expecting a return to the “dollar for 2” days and unlimited withdrawals of the green back. Indeed days of no fiscal deficits and no government borrowing. Days of price stability and prosperity. This is why it is necessary for the MDC Alliance to win and rebuild the shattered economy.
Contrast this hope with the prospect of a Zanu-PF victory? People have nothing to look forward to in a Zanu-PF electoral fraud. In the event, it will be five more years of cash shortages, unemployment, continued company closures, no investment, poverty, corruption and stress. For Zanu-PF does not have a good record of economic management.
Zanu-PF destroyed what was then the “jewel of Africa”. A country where the Rhodesian dollar was stronger than the USD. A country with 12 months import cover and a thriving manufacturing sector. The bread basket of Africa. Now the economy is a former shadow of itself. There has been a generational economic genocide which has seen youths suffering from long term and permanent unemployment.
An MDC Alliance will:
1. Normalize international relations and engage the Bretton Woods Institutions on debt relief and consider all debt relieving options including the Hipc route.
2. Restore the rule of law and property rights. The Constitution will be implemented in full without an excuse
3. 99 year leases will be substituted by bankable title deeds after paying full compensation in terms of the provisions of the Constitution
4. The economy will be transformed to a growing and productive economy through domestic and foreign investment
5. Ease of doing business will be achieved through institutional and legal reforms that improve the business environment and investment climate
6. A jobs plan anchored on women and youth entrepreneurship will be launched.
7. Equal opportunity for all
8. Macro-economic and fiscal stabilization by right sizing gvt including parastatal reforms
9. Massive infrastructural development linked to job creation with particular focus on roads and transport, energy, water and sanitation, housing and icts.
10. Delivery of social services based on free primary education, free cancer treatment, revamping the public health care system, introduction of good social welfare programs targeted on the aged and affirmative action for people living with disabilities
11. Rural development and decongesting cities
12. Spatial development driven by regional balance and devolution.
13. Changing the governance culture as we target corruption, freeing the state from elitist capture,abolishing the party-state system, abolishing clientilism and patronage and governing with the people.
-These are some of the pillars of our economic blueprint that is designed to bring prosperity to the people of Zimbabwe. The MDC Alliance President, Advocate Nelson Chamisa’s work is already cut out for him. He just needs the assured mandate of the electorate to implement his Smart policies. This is the more reason why Zimbabweans are banking their future on President Nelson Chamisa not any other Candidate. Now the Youths, nay everyone now has a reason to register and vote. For a new Zimbabwe is beckoning. NELSON CHAMISA IS UNSTOPPABLE.
