Chronicle Reporter
FINANCE Minister Tendai Biti was yesterday heckled by Bulawayo residents and the business community over the “lavish” lifestyle of Cabinet ministers from his MDC-T party and his budget’s failure to respond to the problems affecting the city.
Submitting their contributions during the 2013 National Budget stakeholder consultative meeting at a city hotel, the participants also accused the Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and ministers from his MDC-T party of lavish spending.
Bulawayo businesswoman Mrs Sakhile Masuku initiated the “attack” on Minister Biti and his colleagues in MDC-T.
She made reference to the PM’s $3,5 million residence in Harare and a trip that the PM, his deputy Ms Thokozani Khupe, and ministers Nelson Chamisa, Biti and Tapiwa Mashakada embarked on when they attended an investment conference in South Africa sometime in March this year.
