ZANU PF Secretary-General, Advocate Jacob Mudenda, has implored party structures and departments to ensure the successful completion of all fourth-quarter programmes as the revolutionary party winds down the year.
This directive follows a successful National People’s Conference in Mutare, where a number of resolutions were made to improve the well-being of the populace.
Speaking at a policy meeting held this week, Adv Mudenda stressed the need for dedication, discipline, and collective commitment from all departments in actualising the annual work plans.
“At this stage of the party, as we wind down the year, let us ensure that we put all our efforts towards the successful completion of all the fourth-quarter programmes of this year as outlined in the respective departmental work plans,” said Adv Mudenda.
He added that the party must end the year in an environment that reflects high standards of delivery.
“We must ensure that the party ends the year in an environment that reflects the dedication, discipline and collective commitment of all departments in actualising the work plans of the year”.
Adv Mudenda emphasised that party departments must set a strong foundation for the year ahead, guided by the envisaged 2026 work plans, to ensure a vibrant party structure.
“Setting a strong foundation for an even more productive year ahead, this shall be guided by the envisaged 2026 work plans.
“The vibrancy of the party must be underpinned by the leadership of the party headquarters, as inspired by the iconic strategic guidance of the President and the First Secretary of the party, President Mnangagwa,” he said.
Meanwhile, the recently ended ZANU PF 22nd National People’s Conference lived up to its billing, with the revolutionary party making key economic decisions aimed at uplifting the lives of ordinary people.
President Mnangagwa gave strategic direction to party cadres at the historic conference, enjoining them to play their part in ensuring the upliftment of the common person.
The party made pivotal economic decisions in its resolutions by recommending the removal of fiscal policies that place a yoke on the neck of ordinary persons.
The major directive was to remove the Intermediated Money Transfer Tax (IMTT), the two percent levy on electronic money transfers.
It was felt that the IMTT had the effect of driving up the cost of doing business and ultimately the price of goods and services, making it a thorn in the side of the ordinary transacting public.
The Conference also recommended that the country adopt a mono-currency system, which would simplify the management of economic fundamentals such as inflation, interest rates, and money supply growth for both fiscal and monetary authorities.
Furthermore, key decisions were made on agriculture, one of the major anchors of the economy and the Gross Domestic Product.
The party directed that there be an expansion of irrigation schemes, development of the gastronomic economy, and the implementation of the title deeds programme to ensure the viability and security of land tenure.
