Appoint A Shadow Cabinet, Hopewell Chin'ono Advises Chamisa

Award-winning journalist Hopewell Chin’ono who was arrested three times in six months two years ago for allegedly communicating falsehoods and incitement to public violence charges, has urged CCC leader Nelson Chamisa to appoint a shadow cabinet.

A shadow cabinet is composed of members of the main opposition party and is responsible for holding the Government to account and for developing and disseminating the party’s policy positions.

The members of a shadow cabinet shadow or mirror the positions of each individual member of the Cabinet.

Posting on X, Chin’ono said Chamisa should pick competent people able to articulate issues and show the electorate that the opposition party can provide “a credible alternative driven by competent people”. He wrote:

t is my considered view that the monumental problems that Zimbabwe faces today now require the main opposition CCC to appoint a shadow cabinet from its parliamentary cohort.

Someone needs to articulate healthcare issues, corruption issues, energy sector issues and so on.

You can’t have anyone and everyone speaking on what they choose to speak on any given day.

Since they are having their parliamentary committees organised, a shadow cabinet is critical because it shows that they are a credible alternative driven by competent people.

In the past the opposition has appointed people who have failed to articulate issues and were just there carrying titles that they don’t know how to use, this must change…

It is important that shadow ministers appointed by CCC are able to articulate such issues with easy clarity.

ZANU PF must be made to account for its actions daily, this hasn’t been happening, slogans are not enough.

What is needed is substance that is explained with clarity and easy to understand for the ordinary citizens…

The opposition must give confidence to business, churches, civil society, students, the international community and the media that it is capable and not another Chakwera if it wants to be taken seriously.

This can only be done through a shadow cabinet, we await and hope that the wait will not be in vain.

Opposing a bad system doesn’t make you a democrat, how you run your affairs is what makes you a democrat or an autocrat!

Lazarus Chakwera who has been the President of Malawi since 2020. He was elected President amid high expectations that he would put Malawi on a development trajectory but critics say he has failed dismally.

According to a report by Maravi Post on 10 September 2023, Chakwera, who was elected President of Malawi in June, has an insatiable appetite for flying and globetrotting while his compatriots wallow in abject poverty.

Chakwera has already spent at least 167 days outside the country out of the total 1095 days he has been in power, according to the report.

I support Journalist Hopewell Chin'ono's idea of a Shadow Cabinet. He will appoint his shadow Cabinet from his Members of Parliament. He has enough material. Those members who will have been chosen as members of a Shadow Cabinet are not paid. The sooner this Shadow Cabinet is put in place the better. This is my story and I am sticking to it.

What has the issue of Lazarus Chakwera have to do with the shadow cabinet suggestion? As one who also follows what is going on in other countries, including Malawi, the view given here out of the blue could be propaganda with some motive. The Malawi president's journeys have been of immense benefit to the country. He spent a longer time in America at the UNGA and interacted with a lot of influential business owners and people who will soon be following up in Malawi to continue the investment interaction. He had a one on one with the UN head briefing him on the cyclone disasters and thanking the UN for the help given. He also managed to get a IS$100 million for Malawian learners to attend American universities. There are lots of other agreements he brokered there. He also chairman to some international organizations to do with economic growth of African and poor countries in the world and he has been requesting for loan agreements to be revised and debts to be forgiven. When he goes to such meetings the organisations sponsor his expenses. He was invited to the BRICS meeting where the Chinese President Xi invited him to visit China again, this time on a state visit. It is really unfair to talk about other countries and leaders always negatively when there are a lot of positives

The only tangible thing Chin'ono 's president brought home from his whirlwind tours was a chopper from Russia' s Putin.

100%. A Shadow Cabinet will show that CCC is structured. "Members of a shadow cabinet have no executive power. It is the shadow cabinet's responsibility to scrutinise the policies and actions of the government, as well as to offer alternative policies. The shadow cabinet makes up the majority of the Official Opposition frontbench, as part of frontbenchers to the parliament" (Google Search) TheWarRoom2024@gmail.com

That it has taken Hopewell to point this out, one wonders why really advises Chamisa. The other problem is that CCC says it does not recognise teh outcome of the election, so how would it posit itself as opposition.

Why should anyone be paid? Every member knows that CCC has no money. It neither runs a Gold Mafia nor artisanal mines.
