MDC Wants George Charamba Fired along with Gideon Gono

From RadioVOP - 5th November 2009

HARARE. The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T), led by Morgan Tsvangirai, has made more demands in the Global Political Agreement (GPA) saying George Charamba, must be fired as Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information and Publicity, Radio VOP can reveal.

The MDC-T has already said Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) Governor, Gideon Gono, and Attorney General, Johannes Tomana, must also be fired from their lucrative posts.

President Robert Mugabe has, however, said none of that will ever happen as long as he is head of state in Zimbabwe.
Charamba is also spokesman for President Robert Mugabe.

The MDC said Charamba was allowing "hate speech" into newspapers such as The Herald and The ZBC news. The MDC-T says many issues on the GPA have still not been met by Zanu PF. "The MDC has also added Mugabe's motormouth spokesman, George Charamba on the catalogue of outstanding issues, saying he is communicating hate speech and causing hatred and discord on the GPA," an MDC official said.

The SADC Troika meets Thursday to try and solve the outstanding issues of the GPA as demanded by the MDC-T.
