The
Promise
We promise to deliver to the people of Zimbabwe a quick economic
turnaround through national political dialogue and healing; the
strengthening of our economic sectors and; harnessing international
goodwill.
We will:
- Create a
conducive business, industrial and commercial environment, devoid
of the fetters of state control, in the firm knowledge that this
will produce jobs for our people
- Restore agricultural
productivity by enhancing the land reform programme, restoring
the tenets of the original policy, to genuinely empower the majority
of our people rather than a select few
- Enact regulatory
laws that stimulate quick-response foreign direct investment in
the mining and tourism sectors to immediately generate foreign
exchange that will drive our turnaround strategy
- Establish
grassroots programmes that drive development, with a special bias
towards women, youths and rural societies
- Restore the
integrity of the finance sector through the philosophy of international
best practice and oversight
- Harness international
goodwill to help resuscitate our health delivery systems by providing
material and intellectual resources while encouraging our people
in the Diaspora to bring back their skills
- Restore our
education system to its former glory where it was the best on
the African continent, by creating a fulfilling environment for
all students and professionals in this sector
- Streamline
our civil and security services into an efficient machine by providing
the necessary resources and ensuring such resources are channeled
towards appropriate projects that truly serve the people rather
than political expediency
- Root out
corruption, a cancer that has permeated the whole Zimbabwean society
and
- Eliminate
the politics of patronage that has until now rewarded Zimbabweans
on the basis of political allegiance, not merit, much to the detriment
of our public sector and parastatals.
