#Tajamuka or #NoBondNotes Protest hits Harare Zimbabwe; while the ZRP brutaly shuts it down!

Today a new demonstration where held in Harare, Zimbabwe as a result of the planned economic framework and giving the citizens bond-notes that will give the Government under President Robert Mugabe and ZANU-PF more national debt. As the sanctions and the economic prosperity are soon into oblivion as the foreign exchange and the fiscal policy is played by the ruling regime. To feed the ZANU-PF elite under the Executive, but not deliver any progress or development for the random Zimbabwean citizens. Take a look!

This is just enough for now. The ZANU-PF regime use all tools to oppress their citizens and their voices against the Government. As they have been used as Pawns for a long time and deserve somebody who really represent them. That doesn’t the current leaders and their Party who cares about their wealth, but not about the state of affairs for the average citizen in Zimbabwe. Peace.
Opinion: Why I have a giant problem with the Military Courts are pending the ‘Treason’ charge of Hon. Michael Kabaziguruka!

Today the case we’re adjourned at the Makindye Military Court as the Lieutenant General Andrew Gutti we’re receiving and holding the court martial over the newly elected Member of Parliament representing in Nakawa district of Kampala. He beat the former MP Hon. Fred Ruhindi of National Resistance Movement, the former Attorney General in Parliament who must feel the pain of not gaining public support after being loyal to his master in President Museveni.
With this in mind, this is a case that has been going for a while since his firsts arrest, raiding of his homes and detaining. After that the detained Hon. Michael Kabaziguruka have been tormented at the Kireka SIU, been changed prisons and not allowed to get visitations. While the Ugandan Police in May 2016 where looking at the working place, the home and any indication of the Treason plans “we’re supposed to have”. As much as the Forum for Democratic Change Dr. Kizza Besigye we’re also charged with treason and taken to Moroto and back to Luzira to serve his charge and waiting the pending case. He has been later taken on bond and has to go to court every second week. This kind of pleasant piece of freedom is not something the Republic gives to Hon. Kabaziguruka.
Hon. Kabaziguruka are charged and we’re supposed to plan to ‘assassinate’ the executive, the long-serving president, his excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on his farm or so. As insulting and wild assumptions of the Uganda Police and their defense… this is sadly not a new way of silencing the opposition as they have done this before. That they did with detaining Besigye before and also his brother for the same charges. So the stories of this seem fabricated to suit the powers to be and keep them on top while the Opposition goes for justice in kangaroo-courts.
The Hon. Kabaziguruka is to set a standard and set the level of fear the NRM regime can put in line. They are putting a non-military man and not a soldier, lieutenant, sergeant or any kind of military position man, but a civilian through Military Court. If this we’re General Sejusa than it had made sense, as he hadn’t until one point not gotten his retirement from the UPDF. The issue with Hon. Kabaziguruka, he is not a military man who are a part of the UPDF at this point. Therefore he should been taken to ‘Ordinary’ Court and not Military Court. He should be tried by the people and their representative of understanding the law; not by military men who are loyal to Lt. Gen. Museveni, but a court who are supposed to be loyal the Constitution and the laws that are applied in the land.
This case shouldn’t be going in a military court; it has nothing there to do. It is a fiction of imagination that the society is so militarized and the levels of fear from the Executive that he has to take citizens who is not connected to his army to military courts to answer for phony charges. The case will be back to surface again on the 23rd August 2016. As the FDC Honourable have yet again to answer for made-up charges. The reality of the extent of impunity under Museveni is now ridiculous and malicious. What the outcome and if the silencing of the up-coming MP is an indication this 7th Term President and 10th Parliament MPs will have a hard way of legitimizing the political climate they are showing with these arrests and this Police Force violently and with charges providing unsound methods to secure the power of NRM. But is it worth it though; When everything is corrupt and nothing is pure not even real or just? Is that what the legacy of Museveni will be that he corrupted all institutions and defended his accusation of grabbing power by taking innocent political careers as feeding his ego on the farm? Peace.

Opinion: Zimbabwe bond-notes add debt to the Republic of Zimbabwe; also worry about the possible inflation rate!

There been demonstrations in August 2016 on the current case of making bond notes in Zimbabwe as the economy and inflation rates can become hazardous for the economy. An economy and the policy that is not sustainable in any sense. Something that hasn’t been since the hyper-inflation of the 2008; as the current situation with other currencies than their own to keep the businesses and government a float; as well as fiscal policies to keep the Zanu-PF elite from still eating while the drought, El-Nino and Mugabe’s megalomaniac power-struggle to keep himself on the Iron Throne in Harare.
The reality is that the Bond Notes are excess for keeping up the ZANU-PF and the long-term President Mugabe. His Excellency Robert Mugabe have kept total control of the state and the Ministers collecting the riches while the basic infrastructure, institutions and all the other parts of state are eating of the taxes, donations and little foreign exchange that comes after the international sanctions of the Zanu-PF reign.
Here is the recent excuses and the reality that might happen with the next move for Bond Notes in Zimbabwe; as the more debt for giving debt notes to citizens instead of giving them a currency that actually has value. Not just empty paper notes that doesn’t have value for the citizen or the businesses. Take a look!

Early July the Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa:
“Zimbabwe will introduce what the central bank calls bond notes in October to counter a shortage of cash in the country. Exporters will be paid with the notes, credited to accounts at the central bank held on behalf of the companies, along with a 5 percent bonus that the minister, Patrick Chinamasa, said the government is happy to pay to encourage outbound trade” (…) “Unless there are exports, there would be no circulation in the market of any notes,” Chinamasa said in a July 17 interview in the Rwandan capital, Kigali. “No exports — no issuance of bond notes.” The notes, to be produced in Germany, will be printed “relative to the volume of imports,” he said” (Njini, 2016).
More reports early on the Bond Notes:
“THE Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) in is talks with the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and German printers, Giesecke & Devrient, to finalise an agreement on the printing of bond notes, a central bank governor has revealed” (…) “Mlambo said the central bank would not print bond notes beyond the agreed threshold of US$200 million. He said: “We are finalising a tripartite agreement right now that we don’t print beyond the agreed US$200 million. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has an eye on this. On economic grounds, it will not be prudent to go beyond that amount.” (Financial Gazette, 2016).
“Hon. Majome asked the Minister of Finance and Economic Development to state:
- The date when the US$20m Africa Import Export Bank loan to back up the bond notes was concluded and whether its terms were published by the Ministry in the Government Gazette within the 60 days as required by section 300(3) of the constitution; and
- Whether the loan agreement has been referred to Parliament for approval in terms of Section 327(3) of the Constitution and also referred to the relevant Portfolio Committee in terms of the Standing Rules and Orders, if not, to state reasons.”

On 27th July 2016:
Hon Chinamasa says: “Firstly, I want to clarify as I have already done before that the US$20m Africa Import Export Bank facility is not a loan. It is a facility that works as guarantee. Naturally, Government and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe will ensure that whatever is done is compliant with the law”.
About Zimbabwe’s inflation:
“According to a note sent to clients in July from Exotix Partners’ Head of Equity Research Kato Mukuru, that dollarization of the Zimbabwe economy created two problems.
- There has been too much reliance on the US dollar. The government moved away from the multi-currency regime and said it would conduct all of its transactions dollars. And since most of Zimbabwe’s trade is with South Africa, the strong dollar (compared to the rand) has made it more difficult for Zimbabwe to compete.
- Zimbabwe has been running a current account deficit since 2009. Zimbabwe has been exporting more dollars than its been importing, causing a shortage of dollars in the system” (Garber, 2016).
“Liquidity problems could cause the government to de-dollarize the economy sooner than expected, warns BMI Research, and that would send the country back into a cycle of rapid inflation. From BMI’s note” (…) “Adoption of a local currency would inevitably result in a rapid increase in the supply of broad money, as the central bank looked to inject enough liquidity into the economy to alleviate the ongoing cash shortage, caused by the current reliance on the US dollar. Without a simultaneous increase in real production, this would increase inflationary pressures.” (…) “As for how high inflation would get, BMI believes that would “depend on the rate at which the RBZ printed the new currency,” but could easily surpass 30%” (Garber, 2016).
This is deep enough as the economic situation is not promising and with the current leadership under President Mugabe the rule of law and stability of the fiscal economic situation that Zimbabwe is already in. Together with the unstable levels of demonstrations that are righteous as the regime haven’t cared for the citizens in decades. The zombies and vampires in the Parliament have cared for their paychecks and not for the well-being of the average citizens. That is why they start with a new round of Bond Notes from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. Peace.
