My Dear People
The dispensation of poverty, darkness and confusion has shown yet again that it is a stranger to democracy with the proposed mutilation of the constitution, which makes a mockery of the aspirations of Zimbabweans espoused in the document voted overwhelmingly in a referendum in 2013.
What makes it worse is the bastardisation of the constitution is being done without the input of the country’s citizens, but instead by a cabal driven by greed of power and selfish interests.
The proposed amendments approved by the regime is a middle finger to the country’s citizens.
It is apt to describe this as a coup on the country’s supreme law as it has been called in various quarters.
Some of the amendments include extending the presidential term limit to seven years, taking back the running of elections to the Register General’s office and allowing the country’s leader to further stuff the moribund parliament with ten more hapless senators.
However, the most contentious proposal is to remove the right of citizens to vote for the country’s leader and arrogate that responsibility to a parliament that has been weakened, corrupted and has been reduced to a rubber stamping institution that bends to the whims and caprices of the regime.
While it has been couched as a move that puts in line with other democracies, it is clear that it is being put in place to hide the dismal performance of the cabal’s leader in elections.
We have seen the Scarfed One just stumbling past the finishing line despite his party getting nearly a two thirds majority which has been a major embarrassment and a huge assault on the ego of the octogenarian.
The irony is that the Justice minister, who is the driving force in the implementation of these scandalous changes to the constitution, could not even win a vote to represent his own party in the 2023 harmonised elections.
For all his weaknesses, Gushungo would have baulked at such a wholesale plunder of the constitution.
This is what you get from a regime that owes its existence through coups and dodgy elections that have been slated even by the regional body Sadc.
Munopengaaa!!!
There was widespread disbelief when the Scarfed One declared that he would not go beyond 2028 pointing out that he is a constitutionalist.
That scepticism that the Scarfed One was genuinely reluctant to cling on to power was only increased when he allowed the ruining party to continue to push for the extension of his vapid leadership, which has been characterised by currency failures, hyperinflation, prolonged power outages and entrenched poverty, to 2030.
It has now become clear what he meant when he claimed to be a constitutionalist.
The Scarfed One will be in all likelihood now claim to adhere to a bastardised constitution which allows his impoverished leadership to burden the country at least until 2030.
Who knows whether we will see the last of Scarfmore’s hopelessly incompetent leadership in 2030 as it cannot be ruled out that the constitution will be further pulverised to enable him to cling tenaciously to power.
This is why I have always said that the coup that parachuted the Scarfed One into power on the back of guns and tanks was one of the darkest eras in the country’s history.
Munopengaaa!!!
It has been a truly horrendous time for the country’s police force who have found themselves in sixes and sevens amid shameful revelations.
The recent hearings on the Police Amendment Bill by Parliament’s portfolio committee on Defence, Home Affairs , Security Services and War Veterans’ Affairs, opened a can of worms.
Police officers openly identified themselves as they made damning allegations of being undermined by senior police officers, who instruct junior officers to release suspected drug traffickers among other criminals.
One Jerry Jeko laid bare the sordid relationship between drug traffickers and senior officers of the law.
The revelation that some police officers have instead been punished for apprehending foreign gold smugglers speaks to rampant corruption in the police force.
It is emblematic of how graft has pervaded the country ever since the advent of the so called second repubric.
Nothing emphasises how corruption has spread its tentacles since the Scarfmore regime was catapulted into power on the back of guns and tanks than the fact that a journalist can be detained for more than two months before trial for an interview with a critic of the regime while one convicted of gold smuggling gets a slap on the wrist by jus paying a fine.
That such high levels of corruption exist at a time the Scarfmore regime has put in place two anti- corruption bodies, which ironically includes one in the office of the Scarfed One, is a dim reflection of this inept dispensation of poverty, darkness and confusion.
With the extension of the Scarfmore leadership on the horizon, the prospect of corruption only becoming worse is truly frightening to behold.
Munopengaaaaaaa
