The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) has expressed concerns over the delayed disbursement of state funds allocated to political parties. According to CCC spokesperson Willias Madzimure, despite the government’s announcement of fund allocations, the party has not received its share in previous years.

Madzimure stated that the delay is linked to ongoing legal matters, but emphasized that the funds are meant for the party, not individuals. He warned that any individual receiving the money would constitute money laundering and theft of state funds.

The government has allocated a total of ZWG147.7 million to political parties that secured at least 5% of the national vote in the last election. The CCC is entitled to ZWG45,338,527.50, while ZANU PF will receive ZWG102,343,972.50.

Madzimure insisted that the CCC is fully entitled to its share once the legal matters are resolved, and called for the release of the funds to support the party’s operations.
