Government should tackle recalls issue once and for all

The new trend of getting rid of political enemies being employed by MDC-Alliance leader Douglas Mwonzora is digging far deeper in the taxpayers’ pockets than government is ready to admit.
The state of affairs in most local authorities mainly in urban areas has become worrisome and need attention from government if the interests of the general populace are to be served.
This new tool for settling political scores serves no good to the electorate but only detrimental to service delivery to which these elected councillors would have been chosen to represent.
The fact that wards and constituencies are left with no representation to spearhead development as a result of political aggrandizements just show how lagging behind Zimbabwe is with regards to corporate governance practices and as a result the nation goes nowhere.
To top that, those in positions of authority that is the judiciary, legislature and executive are not seized with the vitally necessary question: are these by-elections elections not worsening the burden on the already struggling taxpayers and at whose detriment is the denied service delivery?
Surely it is only to please a few greedy individuals on the political landscape.
Whether setting a bad judicial precedence or not , how can someone who was not even elected either as an MP or let alone a councillor be allowed to wantonly go against the interests of so many people from the Zambezi to Limpopo? Government should act in sincerity and stop forthwith this cheap politicking game which seems to reward cowardice and mediocrity at the expense of merit.
People who are chosen by the electorate should be dismissed through the ballot than one individual.
As a result it is the duty of the three arms of state to ensure the tenets of democracy are preserved and practically done than just preaching a gospel of constitutional democracy when certain individuals are allowed to infringe on other citizens’ fundamental rights. There is no way a political party can claim to serve the interests of a people when in actual fact it will be fighting those people it purports to represent by fighting their interests.
It is high time politicians have self-introspection and put forward national interests before personal greediness and quest for false political mileage. As such the issue of recalls needs urgent attention with the seriousness it deserves so that sanity once more prevails in local governance as people need proper services and hence a better and improved way of life.
