Finance Minister Tendai Biti told Parliament today that the country did not have money for elections, due in just over a month, and accused Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa and Mines Minister Obert Mpofu of blocking efforts to raise the money. Chinamasa was blocking efforts to get money from donors while Mpofu was refusing to surrender money from diamonds. Biti said that if he had the power he would shoot Mpofu to get money from diamonds which he estimated at US$1 billion- $800 million from last year and $200 million in the first quarter of this year.
