Having been assisted militarily to leave or voluntarily resigned from the office of the President of Zimbabwe in November 2017, the following are critical legacy issues of Robert Gabriel Mugabe that should be considered an agenda for the new government:
Governance issues
1. Draconian Reconstruction Act, POSA & AIPPA.
2. Electoral law violations & violence for the election years 2000, 2002, 2005, 2008 & 2013 that remained unaccounted.
3. Parastatals were feeding troughs for the politicians&bureaucrats.
4. Ghost government workers audit implementation was blocked.
5. The opposition had no balanced access to ZBC & Zimpapers.
6. Broadcasting sector not liberalized & licensing for only ZANU PF-friendly people.
7. Lies: Bond coins were introduced for change & bond notes were introduced as incentives for exporters in 2016.
8. The central bank governor of the period 2003-2013 was a complete disaster & clients bank nostro accounts were raided by the RBZ & weren’t repaid.
9. There was no accountability on Gukurahundi since the Chihambakwe Report & Dumbutshena Report remained embargoed with lack of accountability over missing persons of political interest.
10. There was no accountability over the Chiyadzwa diamond issue.
11. Auditor-General reports of ministries & parastatals did not lead to the holding of those responsible for fraud, waste & abuse to account.
Economic management issues
1. Fiscal imprudence leading to unsustainable public debt (foreign & domestic) & a large Govt overdraft with the central bank without accountability as required by the Constitution & the Public Debt Management Act (PDMA).
2. Poor governance and impunity for high levels of fraud, waste & abuse in public institutions, & an appetite to make taxpayers endlessly pay for state-owned enterprises mismanagement, fraudulent exercises & mediocrity under the cover of debt assumption without accountability
3. Deindustrialization, company closures & capital flight
4. Economic depression & high inflationary pressures
5. Chronic unemployment leading to high level of vending, hawking & informal trading
6. Dilapidated infrastructure due to mismanagement & impunity
7. Low FDI due to poor investment climate
8. High cost of doing business & lack of economic growth
9. Poor foreign currency liquidity due to low exports
10. High country risk due to weak rule of law, weak property rights, & an overarching reconstruction law that overrides the Constitution & Companies Act.
