WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- According to an Extra-Ordinary Government Gazette released on Thursday, ZANU PF received $350 million and the MDC-T got $149 million. Under the Political Parties (Finance) Act, a political party that receives at least 5% of the vote in an election is entitled to State funding. The MDC-T however, received less than 5% of the 2018 election vote. The other MDC-T faction is led by Douglas Mwonzora who has been at loggerheads with the Khupe outfit in recent times. Speaking to NewsDay yesterday, MDC-T (Khupe) spokesperson Ntando Ndlovu said: > What the people of Zimbabwe must understand is that the money is for the MDC-T party. Mwonzora has formed his own party, the MDC Alliance. > The money is for the MDC-T. The Supreme Court judgment made it clear that the MDC Alliance is not a political party, so we are expecting the money to be given to the MDC-T party. Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) (formerly MDC Alliance) treasurer-general David Coltart the money should go to the MDC Alliance or no one. Said Coltart: > In 2018, there were two MDC political parties, the MDC Alliance and the MDC-T, but the MDC-T failed to get 5% of the total votes. > So the money either goes to MDC Alliance or no one, the $149 850 000 is an illegality considering the name changes and all. Political analyst Vivid Gwede said the ZANU PF-led government wanted to deprive Chamisa of public finances. Said Gwede: > ZANU PF has already made sure through various ways that the Chamisa-led entity, by whatever name, is deprived of public finances. > Going forward the CCC party will have to fend for itself until it wins seats and be due for its disbursement. > As we have also seen, citizens are willing to donate through online platforms which creates an even more organic and important connection with the new party. *More: NewsDay* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
