GOVERNMENT is focused on fulfilling objectives identified by the Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation (Zim Asset) to improve the lives of ordinary people, Zanu-PF national chairperson and Senior Minister Cde Simon Khaya Moyo has said.He made the remarks yesterday when he met a delegation from the Bureau 1V International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Harare.
Deputy director-general in the department, Mr Chao Weidong, led the delegation.
Cde Khaya Moyo said the four clusters identified by Zim Asset – Food Security and Nutrition, Social Services and Poverty Eradication, Infrastructure and Utilities, and Value Addition and Beneficiation – were key to growing the economy.
He said the adoption of the economic blue print by the party’s 14th Annual National People’s Conference in Chinhoyi last week proved that there was unity of purpose in making Zim Asset work.
“We are anchoring our focus around those four clusters. It was endorsed by the conference and resolutions were passed and endorsed by the conference.
“We are now focusing ourselves in fulfilling these objectives which of course were taken to Government and adopted by Cabinet. It’s now Government and the party moving in one direction,” said Cde Khaya Moyo.
He said it was difficult during the inclusive Government to come up with development agendas as parties’ ideologies differed.
Cde Khaya Moyo said it was important for the party and its Government to deliver on promises to ensure Zimbabweans voted for Zanu-PF again in the 2018 national elections.
To that end, he said, party parliamentarians were expected to deliver as well.
He said the electorate was supreme as they could vote for people of their choice.
Cde Khaya Moyo said the party would deal with issues of corruption, factionalism and the imposition of candidates without fear or favour.
He hailed the relations between Zimbabwe and China.
Mr Chao said Beijing cherished the cordial relations with Harare as moulded by Zanu-PF and the Communist Party of China.
“We always deem Zanu-PF as our good friends, good brother and good partner. Zanu-PF is also a platform and important channel for us to cooperate with other African political parties,” he said.
Mr Chao said the purpose of their visit was to learn from Zanu-PF how it managed to mobilise the electorate to vote for the revolutionary party and how it was implementing its empowerment policies.
