You do not need to be an Economist / Financial expect to see that this cabinet is very expensive. I think on face value it is more expensive that the previous Zanu cabinet. You have 36 ministers, 25 deputy ministers, 2 vice prime ministers, 1 prime minister, 2 vice presidents, 1 president!

From the on set, it makes me realise that as Zimbabweans, we need to keep this gorvenment on track and check. If we relax we will be in trouble. The civic organisations, churches, media and other interest or special groups need to keep track of what is happening or else we get into worse troubles should we take things for granted.
