What stupidity is this nhai Chinamasa?


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?
