Minister of War Veterans, Christopher Mutsvangwa has indicated that an open book democracy must be released, so that everyone is acquainted on leadership actions.

In a statement today, on Zanu PF patriots X (formerly Twitter) handle, Minister Mutsvangwa indicated that leaders would be brought to account through the findings from the open book of democracy.

“We want an open book democracy where everybody sees what is happening and leaders are brought to account. We don`t want conspiratorial democracy where we outwit fellow Zimbabweans who have equal standing with the electorate or with the public to realize that in the dead of the night, a deal has been cut between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) Nelson Chamisa, which has marginalized them.

“This is a recipe for national disunity and disaster. We don`t have those problems in Zanu PF ourselves, so we cannot then become an accomplice to what Chamisa wants to do within his own ramshackle party,” said Mutsvangwa.

Mutsvangwa stated that Chamisa must be transparent to his leadership and CCC members about his intended actions.

“He is saying let`s put all the issues on the table, let it be transparent. Let MDC-T Douglas Mwonzora know, let CCC vice presidents Tendai Biti and Professor Welshman Ncube know, let Charlton Hwende know. Let everybody know what we are doing, because then there is a buy-in because these people have supporters.

“Then there is a buy-in by the public to what is going on. This is accountable democracy, which is what President Mnangagwa is striving for. Chamisa wants conspiratorial democracy which President Mnangagwa will not subscribe to,” he said.

Meanwhile, Chamisa has been leading the CCC party like his personal project making unitary decisions, which has irked other party members. Consequently party members have been calling on the party to call for a congress and establish some structures, which the CCC leader has been resisting.
