Tomana a stumbling block to democracy-Tsvangirai

Harare -Tsvangirai Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has warned ZANU-PF that the continued partisan existence of the Attorney General Johannes Tomana was not going to spare them from prosecution.

“At the end of the day accountability is about being answerable to the people for your actions,deliverable vision and values.Those that continue to promote the culture of impunity can not hide from the people forever”,Tsvangirai told delegations attending an audit of government performance organised by the Centre for Public Accountability in Harare on Monday.
Tsvangirai said Tomana was a stumbling block to the country’s democratic process.
“One of the biggest challenges facing us as the nation is the constant and deliberate violations of the rule of law. This campaign is made possible by an Attorney General that takes his orders from his political masters, rather than fulfilling his constitutional mandate role.
In this he is often aided and abated by some government ministers, members of the judicial and senior members of the security establishment,”he added.

Regional parliamentarians who were part of the workshop urged Zimbabweans to force the government to reveal its activities because they were the ones who made them occupy the public offices.

Zimbabweans have been for a long time excluded in the nation building issues by the former ZANU-PF regime.
