Zanu PF will summon Cabinet ministers to explain projects
they are implementing in line with the party’s manifesto and resolutions
adopted at last year’s National Annual People’s Conference in Goromonzi.
The ruling party plans to establish a database of members
living abroad and use them to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
Acting secretary for Administration Cde Patrick Chinamasa
said they were working with the Office of the President and Cabinet to come up
with a structure that would audit the implementation.
“We will be inviting those ministers, basically to say ‘we
have this resolution, can you tell us how far you are in terms of formulating
the necessary legislation and in terms of implementation’,” said Cde Chinamasa.
“We have already created a framework where we invite these
ministers to explain to us what progress they have made and this is also the
platform where we tell them if there is a deviation from our party policies.
“We are setting up structures to make sure that we fulfil
our manifesto. We will fulfil the resolutions that we make and we are
developing together with Government and the Office of the President and
Cabinet.
“Ministries, local authorities and parastatals are our
implementing agencies at all levels.
“Whatever they do is feeding into fulfilling the Zanu PF
manifesto and its resolutions. Therefore, the party must be informed about all
those projects and programmes.”
Turning to the Diaspora policy, Cde Chinamasa said it
sought to ensure the creation of a direct link between the party’s headquarters
and structures outside the country.
“We should, by the end of the year, have fully formulated
and adopted a Diaspora policy.
“We have members out there in South Africa, UK, USA,
Australia, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, all over the world; we have
Zimbabweans who are very patriotic and who support Zanu PF.
“We want to develop a policy as a party, which will enable
us to have structures in those countries which are linked to the main
headquarters to make sure that there is a channel of communication between
those structures and the headquarters,” he said.
The Commissariat, External Affairs and Legal Affairs
departments had since been tasked with formulating the policy. Herald
