ED Dialogue A Bottomless Errand: MDC

The MDC led by Nelson Chamisa has said that the political dialogue led by President Emmerson Mnangagwa is a waste of both labor and state resources.

We cannot have a situation where he talks to himself among his own cheer-leaders and then says he is having a dialogue. He has no conflict with those small parties or motley crew of individuals that he has with him, why is he allowing himself to pretend to have a national dialogue when clearly the person who represents over 50% of the nation is not there at the dialogue.

How does he think it will solve the nation, a person who has almost all the urban councils and that number of MPs and rural councillors too, is not there at that dialogue? That is a pure waste of time, resources and lying to himself and why he continues lying to himself and pretends to think the nation believes his lies is a mystery to us?

President Mnangagwa invited all political parties which participated in the presidential elections in 2018 to a national dialogue. The dialogue was expected to suggest ways of addressing both the economic and political crises.

The MDC led by Chamisa boycotted the dialogue after the party and ZANU PF failed to find each other on the issue of Mnangagwa’s legitimacy.
