Dear @fortunechasi @MthuliNcube

Maybe because of your position of comfort, you do not realise how the fuel pricing system is affecting business & livelihoods. Why is government buying fuel at US$0.90c & selling it at US$0.35, making US$0.55 loss per litre.
2/ Government will save an average of US$1.1m per week (at an average of 2million litres per week) if it stops buying ethanol from Billy at US$1.10/l it will also save $2.2m per week culminating $3.3m per week totaling US$ 13.2m per month. Why is government buying ethanol from...
3/...Billy when Triangle Ltd had offered to supply ethanol at US0.10c a litre? What hold does Billy have on Zimbabwe government that, Zimbabweans have to suffer for him to get a lucrative deal which is bleeding the fiscas & crippling the economy #cartelsmustfall #lootersmustfall
4/ If government stops buying ethanol from Billy, it will save USD13.2m per month, divide that by approximately 200 000 Civil servants, it will have at least USD660 added to the current 75 allowance to pay civil servants We can't talk of curbing corruption when civil servants...
5/...are underpaid & involved in unethical & corrupt practices to sustain their livelihoods. A responsible government remunerated workers well and will disassociate itself from corrupt, criminal cartels that have run down our economy. #StopCorruption #EconomicRevolution
6/ @zeraenergy rejected 140 applications from independent prospective local suppliers who had applied to import & supply fuel & could pay $2 million each for the licences & gave only 8 licences (4 to Tagwirei and the other 4 to big names, creating a monopoly.) #MonopoliesMustFall
7/ As a Zimbabwean citizen, I am urging you to find ways of opening Zimbabwe for business to Zimbabweans, dismantle monopolies & cartels.
Government can make citizens livelihoods better by prioritizing the poor not subsidizing the rich at the expense of the poor. #TogetherWeCan
