Prominent journalist Hopewell Chin’ono said that the US$3 billion reportedly stolen through the opaque Command Agriculture programme over the past two years could have been used to pay the country’s 1 620 doctors each US$1 200 per month for 128 years.
Writing on microblogging site Twitter, Chin’ono said:
Zimbabwe has 1 620 doctors. They are asking for a wage of US$1200.
That is US$1,944,000 for all our doctors per month or US$23,328,000 per year.
US$110,000,000 was looted from NSSA according to the Auditor-General
It would have paid wages for our doctors for 4 yrs 7 months!
