Citizens Coalition for Change {CCC} vice president advocate Tendai Biti last Sunday promised to pay civil servants in United States dollars if they are voted to power in 2023.
Biti sentiments follow the continued battle between teachers and government.
Teachers are lobbying for government to pay their salaries in US dollars.
But Biti promised all civil servants that their salaries will be pegged in US dollars when CCC wins in the upcoming 2023 general elections.
Addressing supporters at Mbizo shops in Kwekwe where CCC held a rally to drum up support for the upcoming by elections, Biti assured CCC supporters that Chamisa will only need three weeks to transform Zimbabwe.
“When we come to power we will return the US dollar, civil servants will be paid in US dollars and l want to assure you citizens that with Nelson Chamisa we will only need three weeks to make sure every citizen will be happy, we will transform this economy, we will build jobs, we will create employment and we will make Zimbabwe great again,” he said.
Addressing thousands of CCC supporters at the same rally, CCC president advocate Nelson Chamisa said it was not a new thing for opposition to transform Zimbabwe as they previously did it in 2009 when MDC T and Zanu Pf formed an inclusive government.
“We have friends in SADC, Africa and the whole world. I will just pick my phone and invite them to come. Your lives will be transformed. We did it in the past so we will do it again,” added Chamisa.
In 2009 the power-sharing deal between the late Robert Mugabe and former opposition groups created an end of political deadlock and facilitated rival politicians to work together and address the chronic economic meltdown.
This resulted in all civil servants receiving their salaries in US dollars and boosted trade in foreign currency.
