The allocation of budgeted funds for political parties, specifically Zanu PF and CCC, will be conducted in accordance with the law and may even involve the intervention of the courts if necessary, according to a statement made by a Cabinet Minister. This decision comes as the Government prepares to distribute funds to qualifying political parties.

The Minister reiterated that the disbursement of these funds will strictly adhere to legal regulations, ensuring transparency and fairness in the process. While Zanu PF and CCC are the only two parties currently meeting the qualifications for receiving these funds, the Government is resolute in its commitment to upholding the rule of law in this matter.

Amidst speculation surrounding the potential distribution of funds between different factions within CCC, the Minister emphasized that the Government will be guided by the law and remain impartial. In the event of internal disputes within CCC, the courts may be called upon to intervene and resolve any conflicts regarding the allocation of funds.

The announcement comes at a time when there is growing anticipation regarding the distribution of budgeted funds for political parties, especially with the upcoming elections. The Government’s commitment to upholding the rule of law in this process serves as a reassuring message to all parties involved and ensures a fair and equitable distribution of funds.

Treasury has been entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the allocation of these funds, and they are expected to adhere to the legal guidelines set forth in the disbursement process. With the Government’s assurance of transparency and adherence to the law, there is a sense of confidence that the distribution of funds will be conducted in a just and lawful manner.

In light of these developments, it is evident that the Government is taking a principled approach to the distribution of budgeted funds for political parties, prioritizing legality and fairness in the process. This commitment to upholding the rule of law serves as a positive step towards promoting a democratic and accountable governance system.
