Some of the officials included Zimbabwe Electoral Commission chairperson Justice Rita Makarau and another Zec Commissioner Bessie Nhandara, Registrar General Tobaiwa Mudede, Public Service Commission chairperson Dr Mariyawanda Nzuwah, Secretary for Finance Mr Willard Manungo and his Home Affairs ministry counterpart Mr Melusi Matshiya.
Speaking soon after the tour, Dr Sibanda said the RG’s Office had managed to clear a number of issues that had been of concern to Government.
“I want to thank our host who has answered most of the queries we had especially on the part of my portfolio as Cabinet Secretary. I had a few question marks but from your presentation during the tour, most of the issues have been clarified,” he said.
The MDC-T and its Western backed non-governmental organisations have made a number of unsubstantiated claims of manipulation of the voters roll in a way analysts have said is part of efforts to discredit the polls.
Dr Sibanda said it was clear the country was ready for elections.
“You have shown us that you are ready for elections. I am satisfied with the preparation and I will communicate to Cabinet through the Minister of Justice (Patrick Chinamasa) for his weekly updates on the state of the voters’ roll expected every Tuesday,” he said.
