By MDC President Welshman Ncube
Introduction to MDC Manifesto
Due to an absence of devolved a system of government , excessive centralisation of power, high levels of corruption, politicisation of public institutions, awkward institutionalised policy and widespread bad governance - the past three decades have triggered the virtual... collapse of our public service delivery. This has led to declining growth in industry, disempowerment of people and total disregard of the rule of law. With that, the nation has also experienced unsustainable levels of poverty, escalated unemployment rates, inequality and mass brain drain while the rift between people and government has widened.
What the MDC Government will do
The MDC proposes a national policy framework for reconstruction of Zimbabwe anchored on devolution of power. The MDC is convinced that devolution of power is the only way to foster prosperity in the country. It aims to ensure that local communities our national policy framework for sustainable economic transformation will eliminate the prevailing status quo and usher in popular social democratic values and principles. We shall focus on devolving governance and take government to the people so that citizens define their own economic, political and social destiny. We shall decentralize all leadership and administration from a concentrated structure so as to address issues of local employment, opportunities and ensure that civil service and public infrastructure works. This will include:
• Locally - driven economic productivity
• Value addition on the Zimbabwean commodities like diamonds and tobacco
• Proper utilisation of the country’s natural resources
• Proper utilisation of the currently dormant or underutilized human capital
• Participative economic development
• Stabilisation of the country’s international relations in order to create markets and attract international partners
• Creation of a stable environment and opportunities that attract foreign direct investment
• Reviving industry and national infrastructure for full productivity
• Creation of a user-friendly legal and political environment that allows free choice and pursuit of business goals, jobs, decent remuneration, and retirement benefits for labour
• Respect, acknowledgement and legal protection of private property rights
• Revitalisation and strengthening of industry as the basis for economic resuscitation.
• Motivation and utilisation of the Zimbabwean Diaspora to play a more defined and structured role in the promotion of Zimbabwe and national development
• Promotion of the use of all local languages as a means of promoting diverse thinking and ideologies as well as tapping latent skills from the previously-marginalised communities.
