Closing his party's annual conference in the farming town of Chinhoyi, the veteran president told Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa to present a pro-poor budget next week. "Find money Chinamasa," he said to loud applause from thousands of supporters. "You can't say there is no money. Where is our platinum going? Where is our gold going? Where are our diamonds going? "The budget must tell a new story. Those who work must be paid above the poverty datum line. We can't really be at peace with our hearts if we say our people must continue to work for next to nothing." At the conference Mugabe also reiterated his call to ban raw mineral exports as part of tougher measures for the mining sector. "We should not continue to send our minerals out in their raw form," Mugabe told delegates at the meeting in the farming town of Chinhoyi, north-west of the capital. THE EAST AFRICA TIMES
