So this Patrick Chinamasa (I wish Bennet had killed him in parliament that
day) thinks that it makes sense to raise money through imposing
levies on motorists and mobile phones?
Civil servants cant be
squeezed any more because the government can't pay them.
What
stupidity is this we see?
Sometimes
I wonder if these Zanu-PF people have brains. Were those brains blown
out during the war? By the way, this Patrick Chinamasa, was he at the
front? Or he was like Didymus Mutasa? Where is Cde Chris Mutsvangwa
to enlighten the nation?
Does
it not make much sense to send home all those good-for-nothing aging
women and men who pretend to work as governors, parliamentarians,
senators and all the hangers-on. Take away all those cars. Stop
giving fuel.
How
much money would the government save if they cut down expenditure on
those idiots? How much money would Chinamasa save if he advises
Robert Mugabe to reduce, merge and expunge ministries?
Whatever
money government would save does not get anywhere near what Chinamasa
thinks he will make from levies and taxes. This does not need a
rocket scientist to know. Ask Cde Jonathan Moyo (and by the way can
Cde Chris Mutsvangwa who seems to be close to Cde Jonathan verify
whether the professor was at the front?).
What
Chinamasa wants to do is eat from behind by demanding voice and data
levies. He also wants to benefit from the fuel industry because this
sector is now being run by private companies and individuals.
Government failed a long time ago to sustain Noczim which they
looted.
The
idiocy of all this is that once fuel is affected by levies, there
will be a ripple effect across all sectors. Much of what Zimbabwe
eats and buys from supermarkets is from South Africa. The products
are transported by road. That means prices of commodities will catch
on to the price escalations.
This
is no solution. It's not even short-term. How much money will
Chinamasa get from levying calls and the internet? If he gets
something, will it be enough to cushion them in their pursuit of
happyness?
In
any case, which country survives on levying mobile phones?
