Tsvangirai lashes out at "small-minded opportunists” demanding influential positions

Leader of opposition party MDC-T, Morgan Tsvangirai has hit out at people demanding influential positions in the proposed grand coalition. Tsvangirai said leaders should focus on policies and not fighting for key positions.

In a statement Tsvangirai said,

For some of us, the debate around the next election should never be about positions, but about conditions! Who holds what position in the new administration is a petty debate being foisted on the nation by small
minds, opportunists and detractors of our people; the true sellouts of the people’s struggle.

Once we have built this alliance — and we are well on course — we must agree on a credible policy agenda as a key signpost to the positive change we seek.

We must not only have a pre-election pact about seats and other relatively petty matters, but we must agree on the fundamentals of the policy agenda that we will embark on after the next election. Given the comatose state of our industry, our dilapidated infrastructure and the country’s despicable and tenuous predicament, it has become imperative that we embark on a transformation and not a recovery agenda. Recovery is an understatement of what we need to do. We simply need to start afresh.
