via Zanu (PF) blames MDC-T for demise of agric sector 5 December 2014
Zanu (PF) has attributed the fall in agricultural productivity to sabotage by the MDC-T during the days of the Inclusive government.
Speaking at the Zanu (PF) Sixth People’s Congress in Harare today, Agriculture Minister, Joseph Made alleged that efforts to revive the agricultural sector were sabotaged by the then Finance Minister, Tendai Biti.
“Your Excellency, I am aware of how much you agonized from 2009 with the economy particularly the agricultural sector which had been undermined. At every Cabinet meeting, we talked of support to agriculture but because of the then Minister of Finance, agriculture was undermined and it was only from 2013 to 2014 that we were able to support agriculture to the extent that we did,” said Made.
Without elaborating, Made said that it was not the MDC-T alone who were in the habit of sabotaging agricultural productivity but said they were other people involved as well.
“Still there were others who were in the habit of undermining efforts to revive agriculture. I do hope that as we move forward, we will be more focused and helpful to our people,” said Made.
He implored the party to ensure that inputs under the Presidential scheme would be distributed in a transparen’t manner.
The residential inputs scheme has been rocked by allegations of corruption as well as partisanship that has often led o MDC-T supporters being left out.
“We must take a firm position to make sure that these inputs are distributed equally,” said Made.

What a liar. Mr Bumper crop.
Zim gets more and more bizarre – just when you think you’ve seen the ultimate idiocy someone goes and beats it.
In the future “Land Reform” (land grab) will be cursed as the greatest disaster ever to be inflicted on the country, followed closely by “Indigenisation”. Both of course engineered by The Mafia aka Zanu-Pf
In my life I have seen our country degenerate from a peaceful and prosperous place to a Bandit Nation and Failed State.
So MDC-Tdestroyed agricultural productivity?
Chokwadii??
What about the fast-track land reform?
Kunyepa Dr Made, kunyepa!
What a useless a**e liking oxygen thief. There must be a desolate village somewhere in Zimbabwe looking for its idiot.
Kevin theres no vacancy as all the villages have their own Zanu idiots. Even parliament in the name of Chinos.
This is the same Made fool that flew over the country and predicted a bumper harvest that year!! These Zanu thieves stole diamond money and still expected Biti to fund farm looters? How mad!!!!? Joseph Made (Dr? kkkkkkkkk!!!) and Josehp Chinos – I cant tell between them now. Vanorotomoka vose. GOD FORBID.
