Zimbabwe owes IMF (International Monitory Fund) a lump of
$10, 7 billion. Newsday (04/03/2013) reported that IMF representatives are in
Harare for this debt. As Zimbabwean citizen, I deem it necessary to point out some
facts about what could be done if the government of Zimbabwe is serious about
settling this debt. I came out with few points so that you can add others you
deem necessary also.
1.
Zimbabwe is rich in natural resources such as diamonds
and gold. So money can come from these natural resources.
2.
Ministries such as the Ministry of Home Affairs
can submit due revenue to the Treasury.
3.
Zimbabwean government should reserve the money
that has been put aside by the Ministry of Home Affairs for recruiting 10 000
police officers and use it for debt settlement (recently Newsday reported that
Zimbabwe Republic Police force is set to recruit 10 000 more officers to
maintain law and order ahead of next month’s referendum and subsequent
election. The number will mount from 40 000 to 50 000).
4.
Money can also come from UNWTO through tourism.
5.
Foreigners like Chinese who have invested in
mining industry should pay their dues in full. (Last year Newsday reported that
Chinese are giving little or no revenue to the Treasury)
What should Zimbabwe do?
