By AAMER MADHANI and ZEKE MILLER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has publicly disengaged from the battle against the coronavirus at a moment when the disease is tearing across the United States at an alarming pace. Trump, fresh off his reelection loss to President-elect Joe Biden, remains angry that an announcement about progress in developing a vaccine for the disease came after Election Day. And aides say the president has shown little interest in the growing crisis even as new confirmed cases are skyrocketing and hospital intensive care units in parts of the country are nearing capacity.

Leading progressives are pressuring President-elect Joe Biden to embrace their policy agenda even as more centrist Democrats argue such proposals prevented the party from retaking full control of Congress. For now, much of the lobbying centers on who Biden should — or should not — appoint to key posts as he builds out the administration […]

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer A daily pill combining four cholesterol and blood pressure medicines taken with low-dose aspirin cut the risk of heart attacks, strokes and heart-related deaths by nearly one third in a large international study that's expected to lead to wider use of this 'polypill' approach. For more than a decade, doctors have been testing whether the cheap, all-in-one combo pills could make it easier to prevent heart disease, the top killer worldwide. Friday's results show their value — and not just for poor nations. 'It's for all sensible countries,' said Dr. Salim Yusuf of […]

LATELY, we have seen government trying to dangle a carrot so that its restive employees go back to their workstations, but the efforts have been spurned. editorial comment Teachers have been on strike since September when the first batch of examination writing classes went back to school in a phased re-opening. They are demanding US dollar salaries indexed to the bank exchange rate. Other than that, there is no going back to class. Nurses have also gone on strike, demanding US dollar salaries, re-instatement of the flexi-hour working system and provision of personal protective equipment. Government has refused to accede to their demands, and instead dished out suspension letters to the nurses pending disciplinary hearings. This week, government abruptly stopped dishing out the suspension letters after reportedly getting wind of the fact that the nurses were using the letters to seek employment beyond our borders. A beneficiary of the November 2017 military coup, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration has failed on many fronts. The economy has failed to tick since he rose to power, with inflation at one time surging to around 800%. Data from the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency this week indicating that inflation had come down to 471,25% in October from 659,40% in September should be taken with a pinch of salt. Companies have been folding under his watch, with largely foreigners getting mining licences, a sector which is fraught with its own disasters, particularly gold and diamonds. Pupils and students are being sent home on a daily basis. It will be a miracle if examination classes sit for the end of year finals. Nurses are also showing an “I don’t care attitude”. Doctors have spoken out against the militarisation of the health sector, where Vice-President and Health minister Constantino Chiwenga has moved to change the recruitment of health professionals. All government employees have been complaining about the erosion of the value of their salaries, with the security sector being the only one seemingly being cushioned. Government, as the biggest employer, should realise that one of the major reasons slave trade was abolished was that it was seen to be counter-productive. Any motivated employee is prepared to go an extra mile, while a demotivated worker’s mind is focused elsewhere. It is, therefore, critical for government to incentivise civil servants so that they discharge their duties properly.

BY CHARLES LAITON HIGH Court judge Justice Benjamin Chikowero yesterday recused himself from presiding over a matter involving suspended judge Justice Erica Ndewere saying he was conflicted. Justice Ndewere recently filed an application challenging Chief Justice Luke Malaba’s order to have her investigated for alleged misconduct. She also challenged the move to have her investigated by a sitting judge. Justice Chikowero becomes the second judge to recuse himself from the matter after Justice Moses Foroma said he could not handle the matter involving a colleague. In his ruling on Justice Ndewere’s application to have him recuse himself, Justice Chikowero said justice would not have been done if he insisted ion dealing with the matter, moreso given the fact that the suspended judge was his senior and they also worked together. “I sit on the High Court bench. So does the applicant (Justice Erica Ndewere). We are both stationed in Harare. She is my colleague,” Chikowero said in his judgment. “I was appointed to this bench on December 14, 2017. Since then, I have always been paired with applicant (Justice Ndewere) on the urgent judge duty roster. She is the senior judge. I am the junior judge. “This means the applicant has been my professional partner on that roster ever since I became a judge of this court. Professionally, I am, therefore, closely linked to the applicant.” He added: “Judicial office is a public trust. My view is that my continued sitting in this matter would not maintain public confidence in the Judiciary. “It would actually be an embarrassment to the Judiciary. It would bring the Judiciary into disrepute. Whatever my decision in the matter, justice would not be seen to have been done.” Justice Ndewere vowed to fight the Judicial Service Commission (JSC)’s move after the latter wrote to President Emmerson Mnangagwa asking him to set up a tribunal to investigate her alleged gross misconduct. Her lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa also confirmed the latest development. “We are now waiting for the appointment of a retired judge to deal with the matter,” Mtetwa said. “However, since Justice (Moses) Foroma recused himself, we wrote to the Judge President (George Chiweshe) to find us a retired judge to deal with the matter, but we have not heard from him and we are still waiting. “In fact, we were surprised when Justice Chikowero was appointed to hear our matter because we had raised some concerns over the issue of judges.” Justice Ndewere is facing allegations of gross misconduct in the performance of her duties, where it is alleged she caused the setting aside of the jail term of a thief, Kenneth Majecha, and referred the case back to the lower court for re-sentencing and recommended that he should perform community service on the basis that he was a youthful first offender. The JSC contends that Justice Ndewere was wrong about Majecha being a first offender as he had three previous convictions. But Justice Ndewere said she was being victimised for refusing to take orders from Chief Justice Malaba to deny bail to former
