Globe-trotting Mugabe, a selfish President

After the so called million man march in Harare where crowds were rented and school heads suffered extortion to surrender school buses by force, President Mugabe is at it again. His foreign trips never cease and it seems like he gets sick if he spends a single month in Harare.

So far this year his trips have gobbled a whopping $80 million and there is not a single achievement made through his insatiable appetite for air travel.  This is the President who likes to please the world and enjoys trying to fix global issues yet he can't fix the economy under his chin.

The MDC thunderously condemns Mugabe's purposeless and costly trip to Papua New Guinea  because it shows Mugabe's cavalier approach to the issues affecting Zimbabwe. People have spoken but he remains mute, deaf and blind. His obstinacy is amazing. Even trips that require a secretary of a ministry, Mugabe takes over. To date he lives as the most travelled African leader who brought home more hunger,  poverty and suffering.

This is the same man who delivered tired speeches on the so called million man march as he had nothing to prove to reciprocate the blasphemous accolades he received from Zanu PF apologists benefitting from the insipid corruption that has become the hallmark of the decadent and insensitive regime.

After the senseless heaped praises on Mugabe as the only President with a sense of purpose in Africa, people are back into rearing zvihuta. And he still travels and enjoys himself and family as the nation suffers.

Once a President shows no concern for the plight of the ordinary people,  what is the point in trusting him to lead? Imagine a President who uses Singapore hospitals because he cannot revamp those in Zimbabwe?

As a party, the MDC strongly condemn the senseless trips by this leader of a dying country because they are costly and will not help the ailing economy. As if that is not already a problem, Mugabe travels with no less than 100 delegates who blow big bucks on shopping and board.
