Chapfika criticises govt for formulating economic blueprints it never implements

Speaking during a Sapes Trust discussion recently on economic reform, chairperson of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Finance, David Chapfika criticised government for formulating economic policies it never implements.

In his presentation he stated that other countries were borrowing our economic blue prints and implementing them with great success. Said Chapfika:

Zimbabwe is not starved of good economic policies, and the President’s Office has piles of blueprints which other countries are borrowing from and implementing, creating wonders in their economies, while we are not. Our major challenge is implementation, and even if we have the highest literacy rates, there is so much policy inconsistencies and what has happened to Zimbabwe is a downward slide of the economy for decades.
