ZIMBABWE SPENDS BIG ON ELECTIONS WHILE HEALTH AND ROADS SUFFER

Zimbabwe is getting ready for another round of by-elections, set for February 3rd. These elections are happening at a time when the country is already facing a tough financial situation. Many people are upset because they feel the government is wasting money on elections when there are bigger problems, like hospitals that are falling apart and roads that are dangerous to drive on.

Zimbabwe has been going through political problems for many years. The ruling party wants to stay in control and has made a lot of decisions to keep power. These by-elections are seen by many people as part of that plan. Critics say the elections are not necessary and cost too much. They think the money could be better spent on fixing the country’s hospitals and roads, which are in very bad shape.

Zimbabwe’s economy is not doing well. The government does not have much money, and it seems strange to many people that so much will be spent on elections. Critics say the money should go to more important things, like making sure people can get proper healthcare and travel safely on the roads.

Zimbabwe’s hospitals are in very bad condition. Many of them do not have enough supplies, and the doctors and nurses working there don’t have the tools they need to help people. In some places, hospitals cannot even provide basic care. This is making people’s health worse, and many diseases that could be prevented are now spreading because of the poor state of healthcare.

The roads in Zimbabwe are also falling apart. They are full of potholes, and there hasn’t been enough maintenance. This makes traveling dangerous and slows down the movement of goods and services, which hurts businesses and people trying to earn a living. In rural areas, it’s even worse, and people are finding it hard to get to markets or hospitals because the roads are so bad.

Many people believe the government is not really interested in holding fair elections, but instead using them to stay in power. These by-elections are seen as a way for the ruling party to keep control, rather than as a way to help the country. This is why many people are so frustrated. They feel the government cares more about politics than about the real problems facing the country.

There is a growing call for change. Zimbabweans are getting tired of seeing their money being spent on things like elections while hospitals are closing down, and roads are becoming too dangerous to use. People want the government to focus on what really matters – their health, safety, and well-being. There is a sense that it’s time for the government to stop focusing on holding onto power and start focusing on the needs of the people.

As Zimbabwe heads into these by-elections, more and more people are asking hard questions. They want to know why the government is spending so much money on politics when the country is in such bad shape. The upcoming elections are a reminder that sometimes political games come at a big cost to the people.

It is time for the government to listen to the people and start using the country’s resources to fix the real problems. Zimbabweans want a government that works for them, not for political gain. The future of the country depends on real solutions to the problems that matter – fixing hospitals, repairing roads, and making sure that everyone can live in a safe and healthy environment.

These by-elections might not solve any of the big problems Zimbabwe is facing. But they have highlighted the need for the government to change its priorities. Zimbabwe needs leaders who will put people first and start fixing the issues that are making life so difficult for everyone. The people of Zimbabwe deserve better, and it’s time for a real change that focuses on the well-being of the nation.
