Upon the ushering of the 2010 famous Government of national unity(GNU), the country woke up to the dollarized economy. Everyone from the civil servants to the general populace enjoyed that era. Gardeners and maids where all happy citizens during that time and above all teachers enjoyed the value for money that economy was providing .Prices remained unchanged for the next 5 years, and if you earned $100.00 you could afford to survive on it and even have some left over to save. Property was bought and developed cars where imported and life in general was good for the ordinary person.
Now this era meant no black-market, no speculation, means of survival was strictly work, get paid or provide a service and be paid in return. Life was predictable and every household could afford a loaf of bread for breakfast each morning. Farmers enjoyed the fruits of their labor as the payment had some value too and they could shop lots of groceries in return for their trip back home. Ask around any general folk whose earning and honest living will tell you they would love to get back to that era. Its an era of price stability, ere of basic commodities available in shops and strengthened buying power.
But then we all know that anything that’s good for the Povo is definitely not agreeable with the powers be. The powers be are behind fueling the black market, trading illegally of currencies . Expropriation of funds among a lot of illegal financial crimes. The powers be enjoy benefits associated with their names, patronage and being untouchable able to get away with even murder.
