In a show of visionary leadership and unity, Cde Kazembe Kazembe who is Chairperson of ZANU PF Mashonaland Central Province successfully convened a prototype all-developmental-stakeholders meeting at Bindura Golf Club on 15 July 2022.
The highly successful meeting was meant to facilitate discussions between MPs, Central and Local government on developmental issues in the province .
Such a high level provincial assembly of policy crafters, implementors and beneficiaries of policies can be a model used by other provinces in Zimbabwe to spearhead development using the bottom-up approach.
According to Cde Kazembe, "MPs are the drivers of development from a party perspective hence they need to have an appreciation of what the government is doing in terms of current and upcoming projects".
All the 18 ZANU PF MPs attended the meeting and inputted on key provincial development issues.
Outstanding were issues to do with the need to upgrade the road network in the province, the need to drill more boreholes in arid places like Dande, where there are dire water challenges and the need to manage illegal gold miners who are causing land degradation.
The ZANU PF party was also represented through DCC chairpersons and PB members like Cde Musanhi, who lamented on how Mashonaland Central province was lagging behind in development yet it always delivers a clean sweep for the ZANU PF party.
Present at the inaugural meeting also were Council CEOs, Chairpersons, local Councillors, Provincial Government Heads of Departments as well the Minister of State for Mashonaland Central Province, Cde Mavhunga.
The next such interface is expected to be held in three months time.
