…He said MDC A must invest in building institutional capacity instead of individualising the struggle

Exiled former Zimbabwe Minister, Jonathan Moyo has laughed off MDC A President Nelson Chamisa’s whirlwind tour of Zimbabwe’s rural areas as a useless odd visit.

The razor-sharp political scientist, Moyo urged MDC A to build a functional secretariat with institutional capacity to deploy workers on nationwide tasks.
“For ANY POLITICAL PARTY to be on the ground, is not an odd visit by a Boss; but having a functional secretariat with INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY to deploy party workers on a nationwide task like voter registration & can maintain a database on the task; with data retrievable on demand,” said the motor-mouthed professor who served Mugabe from losing power to the late iconic MDC founder Morgan Tsvangirai.

Moyo also tore into MDC A which he disparaged as lacking capacity to hold electoral bodies accountable.

“As research and electoral practice around the world have shown; the only way of hold electoral bodies to account is for political parties, civic society, churches, media & academia to have parallel monitoring processes of elections from voter registration to results announcement,” said Moyo who recently withdrew his offer to train MDC A polling agents.

The Kenya based former Mugabe’s Information Tzar also lamented MDC’s failure to effect change when the Party was in government and enjoying a majority in parliament. Moyo accused the advisors to former Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai of spending the four years they were in government chasing dresses.

“THEY TOO WERE IN GOVT, some as the PM’s advisors, for over 4 years; and they had a majority in Parliament to make all the reforms they wanted; they nominated commissioners to @ZECzim, setup under their watch in 2013; what did they do? Alas, some had fun snatching girlfriends,” said Moyo.

Moyo took to social media this week to expose MDC’s structural flaws, literally rubbishing Machinja as thick in making accusations but thin in strategy and details.

“….They say elections are stolen but don’t know how; yet the last deputy @ZECzim chairperson, a nice guy, was their deployee,” pointed out Moyo.

Moyo also took a swipe at the opposition party for personalising the struggle around an individual at the expense of institutional branding. He maintained that the Ngaapinde Hake Mukomana slogan coined around Chamisa’s individual ambition to be in State House was just as terrible as the ED pfee chorus.

In one of his explosive tweets, Moyo expressed doubt over Chamisa’s capability as a leader.

“…Some of us, certainly I, have seen @nelsonchamisa as the best foot forward but maybe we are in fact wrong.” said Moyo.
