President attacks Biti over budget
Harare Bureau
PRESIDENT Mugabe yesterday lashed out at Finance Minister Tendai Biti for coming up with a national budget that is full of hope but difficult to implement.
He made the remarks while addressing the Zanu-PF Central Committee meeting at the party’s headquarters in Harare.
“The recent budget, some say it has a better allocation for agriculture, but it is only figures, it is realisation that matters.
“So the inflation of figures (in the budget) is meant to generate hope . . . that is a false picture because those figures will not be met at the end. Well, that is the result of the inclusive Government. The result of our poor performance in the 2008 election,” President Mugabe said.
The Head of State and Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, said in his budget last year, Minister Biti failed to release funds to some ministries despite giving them such resources on paper.
President Mugabe said discord in the inclusive Government on policy issues made it imperative for the country to go for elections next year.

THERE was drama Thursday when the Deputy Minister of Public Service, Andrew Langa, stormed Esigodini Agricultural College demanding to know why the principal humiliated his son in front of other students and forced him to remove a T-shirt with an anti-sanctions message.
Minister Langa went to the institution in the morning to get an explanation from Mrs Moyo over the incident, which happened on Wednesday.
On the first visit, Mrs Moyo was not at the college. When they finally met, Minister Langa had to restrain emotional war veterans who were threatening to assault Mrs Moyo, accusing her of being an imperialist agent.
Sources at Esigodini Agricultural College said officials from the security department and Public Service Commission had visited the college earlier to get an explanation.
