BULAWAYO, Zimbabwe, May 1 (UPI) --
Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai says his Movement for Democratic
Change party wants to improve the lives of the country's citizens.
Speaking with party officials in the city of Bulawayo, Tsvangirai said
improving people's lives should be the main objective of the country's
current coalition government, SW Radio Africa said Friday.
Tsvangirai recognized how coalition governments throughout the world's
history have been problematic, just as Zimbabwe's new political system has
been.
The MDC leader has failed to find common ground with Deputy Prime Minister
Arthur Mutambara and President Robert Mugabe during five recent coalition
government meetings.
Such disagreement among the country's top officials has delayed the
appointment of other top posts including governors and ambassadors, SW Radio
Africa said.
Tsvangirai also commented on the strike threat issued by Zimbabwean teachers
unions, saying although teachers deserve higher pay, Zimbabwe is currently
financially unable to meet such demands.
