Wilbert Mukori | Ever since the coup, everyone in Zanu PF is going the extra mile to try to convince us that the party has turned a new page it is not the same corrupt, incompetence, vote rigging and tyrannical regime of the bygone years of Mugabe.
“The Ministry of Home Affairs and Culture has assured voters that it will tirelessly work to ensure that no one is turned away from the on-going Bio-metric Voter Registration (BVR) program due to lack of proper identifying documentation,” reported Bulawayo 24.
“This was said by Minister Obert Mpofu as he addressed top ministry officials at a team building meeting held in Harare last week.”
“Citizens should not fail to vote because they do not have the necessary identity documents. But rather, they should only do so on their own volition. So, let us diligently play our part,” said the Minister.
Experience of years of abuse by the school bully tells me Minister Mpofu and his Zanu PF colleagues are not to be trusted because, like the school bully, they are gloss over issues. If he was since about making sure no Zimbabwean was denied the right to vote because he/she did not have identification documents to enable them to register then he should have enquired how many people were already been affected. The exercise is in its last of four months, there is no way that the Ministry would recover the lost ground.
If Minister Mpofu was really interested in turning over a new leaf then he, of all people must know that the Police have failed to keep law and order during the elections, turned a blind eye to Zanu PF inspired lawlessness and even taking part themselves by denying the opposition permission to hold rallies or worse. As Minister of Home Affairs the conduct of the Police fall under his brief. What changes is he going to implement to ensure the Police play their part in ensuring next year’s elections are free, fair and credible.

yes i live in zimbabwe have been harassed and money taken from me. I am just suggesting solutions to curb corruption—police never used to demand on spot payments and they did not have this appetite –it does not mean there was no corruption. i am just suggesting a solution
and when you are alone on that road block how do you ensure the police accept what you as a citizen say when the police insist on you to pay cash on the spot or else? Do you live in zimbabwe or are just one of those behind the laptop terrace people?
I think that Mukori should form his own political party which nobody will ever rally behind it because of his confusion and daftness. He pretends to know politics yet he does not have any clue about history of the liberation struggle of Zimbabwe. Its high time he must shut-up and fold his hands watching from behind. Mukori is a skunk foolish idiot with full of I know for nothing.
police should never collect cash from the streets ,thats zimra´s job—-pay the fines to zimra and when you have not paid it should reflect when about to pay the roads fees
Mukori you always want things your own way. Now you complain about the police failing in elections. But when the entire population complains about the police failing in their duties and being responsible for fleecing citizens you complain. Citizens prefer masoja to police right now because the police have become thieves.You and your MDC then send a delegation tocomplain about an exercise that is trying to pacify citizens that no longer want their police force to the USA. Do you have a plan in place besides police army joint patrols? Or as usual you are typical african opposition supporter oppose oppose and no nation building?
