RBZ Farm Mechanisation Scheme 2007-08

1. Some may recall that the RBZ ran a scheme where it gave farm equipment to elites in 2007/08 but they never paid for it. That debt was later taken over by the government, essentially meaning the taxpayer paid for the elites’ equipment.

2. When the RBZ & the government was asked to name the beneficiaries of that scheme, they both refused to do so. But no bad deed lasts forever. The skeletons are tumbling out of the closets. I tell you, our society is messed up. Judges, ZACC & ZEC Commissioners, police, etc!

3. When corruption is as pervasive as revealed by the Farm Mechanisation Scheme, you realise that the entire state is in dire need of an overhaul. They all benefited, and we are all paying for them. It was free for them but costly to the taxpayer. Absolutely disgusting.

4. In Mashonaland East alone, a former Chief Justice received equipment worth US$381,946. Two current members of the Supreme Court got US$92,986 & US$62,543. Imagine going to the SC to applying for the RBZ list to be revealed? When its members are beneficiaries who didn’t pay?

5. A current ZACC Commissioner, was given farm equipment worth US$88,623 with a police chief getting US$365,000 & a very senior law officer & adviser to the government also getting a share. None paid. These are the gatekeepers, do you think they are keen to reveal the list?

6. Not to worry, men & women of honour are also appalled by the levels of elite corruption which has destroyed Zimbabwe. It’s best for the authorities to make the necessary disclosures because the horses have bolted. An obscure entity called Pamberi Investments got US$1,299.977!
