Zimbabweans
want sticking issues addressed urgently
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
November
20, 2009
The MDC is extremely
concerned at the dragging of feet by Zanu PF and Professor Mutambara's
party in resolving the outstanding issues as advised by the guarantors.
The deadline
set by the SADC
troika for the resolution of outstanding issues has once again
been missed because of the intransigence, mischief and insincerity
exhibited by the political players who are not taking the plight
of the people of Zimbabwe seriously.
For two weeks, Zimbabweans
have waited in vain for the political gridlock to be unlocked. We
note with concern that the body language from both Zanu PF and the
Mutambara-led political outfit does not show sincerity and faithfulness
to resolve the outstanding issues.
The unelected negotiators
from the Mutambara-led political formation, who by some chance have
found themselves in government, are stalling the resolution of Zimbabwe's
political crisis. While the negotiators of the major political parties
met on Monday at 10am to deliberate on the sticking matters, the
negotiators from Mutambara's grouping failed to turn up. Professor
Welshman Ncube and Hon Priscillah Misihairabwi Mushonga have chosen
to prioritise flying to world capitals at the expense of resolving
critical issues that will deliver real change to the people of Zimbabwe.
The MDC expects urgent
resolution of issues that have stalled the work of the inclusive
government. We expect that all parties, especially those that have
chosen to ignore the important time-frames, targets and deadlines
set by SADC, should urgently meet and clear the deck of the outstanding
issues that have poisoned the people's collective journey
of hope spawned by the formation of the inclusive government in
February 2009.
The MDC is a party of
excellence. We believe that the political logjam must be urgently
unlocked so that Zimbabweans see real change in their lives. Zimbabweans
want hope, dignity, freedom, security and prosperity. No political
party is greater than the people's expectations.
Together to the end,
marching to a new Zimbabwe.
