ZM PM LAMENTS PACE OF REFORM
May 15th, 2009 by admin
Zimbabwe’s Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai says resistance to reform by members of President Mugabe’s Zanu-PF party is slowing down economic development. International donors have refused to release funds until Zimbabwe carries out economic and political reforms and opens up the media. Launching a new economic plan on Wednesday, Tsvangirai blamed the delay on repeated violations of the country’s power-sharing agreement and violations of the rule of law. Zimbabwe needs around 8.3 billion US dollars to revive its economy. So far it has secured more than one billion US dollars in funds from within Africa.
