By A Correspondent- Presidential spokesperson George Charamba has trashed as a series of contradictions opposition MDC alliance leader Nelson Chamisa’s Agenda 2020 statement delivered in Mbare (Tuesday).

Charamba questioned why the military should be included in the dialogue arguing that Chamisa was backtracking on the preconditions for dialogue.

He said in the state run media:

If you try and strip this whole so-called agenda speech of all the flowery nature of his language, what stares you in the face is a series of contradictions.

He now seeks to introduce the military into the dialogue without realising that he is running foul to the Constitution. At one level, you can’t be saying security forces must be apolitical, but at the same time you are making them a stakeholder in a political dialogue.

“Secondly, he has lifted the issue of legitimacy as a precondition for dialogue. The question then that stands is what else remains? When he says legitimacy is not a precondition, so what else necessitates a dialogue yet in fact all along and by his own confession including his interaction with churches, he was saying the number one question is the question of legitimacy?”
