*FULL TEXT: MDC Says President Mnangagwa Is 'Irresponsible'* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?cw President Emmerson Mnangagwa is currently in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Vice President Constantino Chiwenga is Acting President in his absence. *Mnangagwa flying out is irresponsible* > Doctors are struggling to assist patients with absolutely no support from the government, a cyclone is wrecking havoc in the Eastern parts of the country, old problems such as fuel shortages persist yet Mnangagwa flys out once more. > The MDC condemns this kind of behavior. For someone to enjoy luxury trips on tax payer’s funds shows no respect or care for the citizen. > What kind of person deserts those he purports to lead? > What kind of person leaves behind dying children, sinking homes , washed away bridges and goes on a dish sampling mission in the Middle East. > 1. At the bare minimum, the cyclone should have been declared a National disaster. This allows the unlocking of more resources to assist those in need. The reluctant approach adopted by the government is a reflection of negligence. > 2. The government must adequately inform citizens with the same intensity that Mnangagwa and his henchmen had when they sought election. > 3. State intervention on disaster response should have kicked in by now, on a massive scale. > 4. There is a need to establish hotlines for those seeking help and constant updates. At the moment there is no line of communication. > 5. In the medium, to long term, the Civil protection unit has to be equipped to be responsive in times of disasters. At the present moment, it is not helpful to citizens – the Battlefields disaster also buttresses this fact. > 6. In the meantime, the MDC calls for urgent assistance in the form of tents , food, blankets to the affected families specifically in the Eastern Highlands where houses have been washed away. > Zimbabweans are struggling, Mnangagwa has made it clear that the people’s struggles are not his struggles. > Foreign trips have gobbled a huge chunk of public funds with no return. > Hospitals have no painkillers, linen, blades and even gloves. > The obsession with talking to externals is not bearing any fruit because the fundamentals back at home are not there. > The MDC insists that globetrotting will not help, what is needed is genuine National dialogue to resolve the crises hitting Zimbabwe. *MDC: Defining a New Course for Zimbabwe!* *Jacob Mafume MDC National Spokesperson* *Related:* *Chiwenga Acting President As Mnangagwa Leaves For Abu Dhabi* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
