Speaking to NewsDay during a tour of the Irish government-funded Rutope Clinic in Bindura yesterday, MacGabhan hailed the positive developments that have taken place in the country over the past few months, adding the new administration should continue with the positive trajectory.
“A lot has happened in Zimbabwe in the last few months, which is very positive. We, as a government in Ireland, are keen to see that positivity continue and what we have said to the government is that we want to see free, fair and credible elections taking place,” he said.
MacGabhann said free and fair elections would send the right message to the international community and investors.
