Biti is deliberately slowing down the recovery of the Zimbabwean economy by the kind of tactics he is adopting. Biti does not care that 70% of O and A level Zimbabwean pupils have not been able to register for their exams because the parents are too poor to pay the exam fees. However, Biti is able to find the money to pay for the Speaker’s accommodation at a 5 star hotel and to also pay $30,000 for the Speaker’s furniture. Biti does not care that pensioners are struggling after he wiped out their pensions and life savings by declaring that the Zimbabwe dollar is dead. Yet Biti has found the money to enable members of parliament to purchase vehicles. Biti does not care that farmers are not getting the required inputs and support and yet he has found the money to top up salaries of civil servants in the PM’s office (courtesy of the World Bank/USAID slush fund). Biti does not care that teachers, doctors, nurses and other civil servants are struggling on paltry salaries and yet Biti and his cronies are living well.
Is Biti a patriot or he is hedging his bets to cosy up to the West so that he can mount a leadership challenge on Tsvangirai? His actions to date illustrate that he is more concerned with being in the good books of the West rather than battling to improve the lives of Zimbabweans. If there is money to enable the economy to pick up, why is Biti hell bent on thwarting that? Biti wants the impoverishment of Zimbabweans to continue so he can justify the HIPC initiative. Why is Biti hell bent on imposing a neo-liberal model of development that has been a monumental failure in the West where we are witnessing more state interventions in industry? Biti wants to sell off all parastatals.
Whoever N/A is, the kind of advice he/she is giving is tosh. Many countries are lending money to IMF/World Bank and its not only western countries that are contributing to these funds. Is Brazil and China not intending to buy some IMF bonds? Have the countries from the East not contributed to the funds. What of the exorbitant interests payments that developing countries like Zimbabwe have to pay the IMF/World Bank to service their debts? These make a significant contribution to the IMF/World Bank coffers. N/A- you are insulting our intelligence as Zimbabweans when you want to sell us the turkey that Biti is a brilliant Finance Minister. Biti is only carrying out what the IMF/World Bank wants him to do. He is not his own man in any shape and form. He is now the local proxy who is using his office to sanction Zimbabwe. As for Gushungo farm earnings, Gushungo is a private concern and the farm will be paying its taxes as required by the law and therefore contributing to the coffers of Zimbabwe.
Lastly, Biti is totally out of his depth in this role as a Finance Minister. Those of us who were unfortunate to go to school with Biti know that he is full of hot air and no substance. That is the view of the majority of Zimbabweans. Africans have wisened up to the fact that those Good Africans who receive dubious awards from the West such as Nobel Peace prizes and Human rights accolades are nothing but stooges who sell their countries and fellow citizens down the river for a few bits of silver. Biti has been groomed for this sabotage role for a long time. Was Biti not a student activist at UZ? Who has funded ZINASU from time immemorial? None other than the US.

True Nestle has succumbed to the Rhodesian Lobby to discontinue doing business with Gushungo holding because of Bob's sin of empowering blacks.
Don't worry N/A of the brilliant economist fame, the Zimbabwean lobby will lobby Robert Mugabe to make sure no one with connection to Rhodesia past and present who has not repented, will do business in Zimbabwe Holdings including farming.
Remember Zimbabwe is the sprocket of Africa. We are driving change in Africa and beyond.We are not a failed small State we are the State of the future.
If N/A of the brilliant economist fame has a farm in Zimbabwe, please repent so that we can paint your farm for the angels to passover when the deed is done if you dont, the first born will be gone figuratively speaking.
Well the issue was the 800 million. It must be used now not to wait for next year's budget. If we loan it to productives sectors now, we could still use it in next year's budget together with its interest.
Does Minister Biti no the parable of the talents. He should be careful that God may chuck him into hell for not using the talent that has been bestowed on Zimbabwe.

You see, no-one the world over is now afraid of the ''west'' especially after ''black hawkdown'' in SOMALIA!

My question is, why do you not use the millions earned by Mr. Mugabe from selling milk from his Gushungo farm to Nestle? Surely the Mugabes should not be allow to convert the millions they got to their own use while the majority of ordinary Zimbabweans have never seen what the US$ looks like. Before you talk of the money which we are lending your country, why do you remain silent on the Millions that the Mugabes have milked from your Gushungo farm?
