Health, education, water and sanitation, the Auditor General\u2019s report and the amount of leakages especially in relation to social service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnless we are talking about simply getting to 2030 but without really caring about those we are leaving behind. My understanding will be that we are talking about social inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone should get to 2030 on the same level but with the current situation, a lot of people will not be able to get there and the 2030 vision remains a pipe dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bhatasara added rampant corruption and continued leakages of public resources were a huge problem standing in the way for the country to attain an upper middle-income economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe grand misappropriation of public resources where we are seeing leakages, looting and fleecing of public resources is the major obstacle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bottom line comes to what is happening to state enterprises which are not adhering to elementary principles of public finance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the same event, University of Zimbabwe lecturer Barbra Maiwasha slammed what she called state capture of the country\u2019s key institutions like the judiciary and parliament.<\/p>\n<p>She said the institutions have since ceased to be effective in terms of providing an oversight role to guard against the abuse of public resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe root cause of the public finance management problems in Zimbabwe are right now lack of strengthened institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose key decision-making bodies do not have that strength. It seems that some of these institutions are under siege because we don\u2019t have them being independent to execute their mandate effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The workshop was organised by civil society organisations that include Zimbabwe Coalition of Debt and Development (ZIMCODD), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transparency.org\/country\/ZWE\">Transparency International Zimbabwe<\/a> (TIZ), Oxfarm among others.<\/p>\n<p>It was held under the theme \u201cStrengthening Economic Governance and Public Accountability in Zimbabwe: Enhancing Civil Society Collaboration\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s 2030 upper middle income economy vision remains a pipe dream for as long as the state is currently trapped in a range of problems that include corruption, poor social service delivery and captured key state institutions.
