President Emmerson Mnangagwa has promised that if he wins the July 30 elections, the jobs of Ministers of State for Provincial Affairs will depend on how well they manage resources in their areas to grow their province’s gross domestic product (GDP).
Equally, I challenge the private sector to be drivers in our quest to have strong provincial economies with clear GDPs. We are crafting a template for all the 10 provinces so that we have competition among these provinces in terms of economic growth and the size of GDP. There is not a single province in this country that has peculiar advantages endowed to them and we need the leaders of those provinces to ensure they utilise the resources found in their provinces by competing with other provinces.
This is now for provincial ministers because their security shall depend on the growth of GDP in their provinces.
