Increase in fuel uncalled for!
The government of Zimbabwe has increased fuel price by 20% (diesel) and 25% (petrol) as a way of getting money for referendum conduction. This increase of fuel is uncalled for. It shows how irresponsible and uncaring our government is. It is actual a recipe for disaster on the side of ordinary people. How on earth will the government do such a thing?
The members of the public will definitely suffer because the price of other basic commodities such as mealie-meal, cooking oil, and soap among others increased because of the increase in fuel prices. Commuter omnibuses would be forced to hike their charges too. So how will poor Zimbabweans make an end to meet? The government was supposed to use money they get from tax payers. Mining industry is producing millions of dollars daily. So where is the going? There is diamond, gold, platinum and the list goes on.
The government collect thousands of dollars from the Toll gate or ZINARA on daily basis. So where is that money going to because our roads are at a bad state? There is no improvement at all! The Tourism industry also adds something to the Treasury. So where is the money government?
I think, the government was supposed to anticipate this and budget for it before. We are sick and tired of this malfunctioning government. Do not suck us because we are dry like dry bones.
