Govt should balance prices and salaries: CCZ

THE Consumer Council of Zimbabwe (CCZ) says government should balance between pricing of goods and salaries to prevent a situation where the loss of value on earnings would impoverish consumers.

CCZ regional manager for Bulawayo, Comfort Muchekedza yesterday said there should be a balance between pricing of goods and salaries.

“Consumers have a right to basic needs and this right is very important and should not be taken for granted,” Muchekedza said.

If citizens are buying goods, they have to be affordable and an equal match between salaries and prices.”

Muchekedza said more worrying was that government’s subsidised mealie-meal was not reaching many, forcing the population to buy a 10kg packet of the staple commodity at $250 as opposed to $70.
