THE World Bank says it is willing to provide the Central Statistics Office with US$200 000 to assist the Government's data collection arm to come up with timely and credible figures for the prompt implementation of pertinent policies.

"Total Empowerment!"
This story states that the imperialist "West" will provide $200,000.00 (how much is that in Zim Dollars?) to assess the correct rate of inflation?
So Zimbabwe, under the revolutionary guidance of ZANU-PF and Comrade Bob, actually requires financial assistance from the people they regularly insult in the press to produce their own "official" rates of inflation?
This is simply incredible! The revolutionaries of ZANU-PF/Mugabe are going to accept imperialist funding in order to determine what their country's actual rate of inflation is?
Do you need a more telling example to see why ZANU-PF/Mugabe has failed the people of Zimbabwe despite their bombastic rhetoric? ZANU-PF/Mugabe cannot even calculate their own rate of inflation without the help of the "WEST"!
Can their be any more basic indictment of how terribly ZANU-PF/Mugabe has governed Zimbabwe? They cannot even calculate their own country's economic statistics!
"Total Empowerment!" (except when it comes to calculating inflation - then we need some help...........)
Another of those nasty sanctions directed at the people fo Zimbabwe. Add it to the hundreds of millions that is being donated for health, tens of millions by the UK, Another few hundered from the US. All of this equals sanctions against Mugabe. Or so he would have us believe.
More money straight into Mugabe and regimes pockets!
