MDC Alliance has demanded answers from the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission as corruption activities are surging as revealed by the recently released Auditor-General’s report.
Speaking during a media briefing on Wednesday, MDC Alliance spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere told the media that they are demanding urgent corruption investigations from the Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo-led ZACC
“On corruption, the (2019) Auditor-General’s report has come out and it tells a sad and ongoing tale of looting. It is the citizens that pay the price of looting and so we demand answers and urgent investigations into the outcome of that report. Citizens bear the brunt of bad governance, so we demand accountability. Corruption is killing us,” Mahere said.
Mahere further accused ZACC for lacking independence in investigating corruption cases adding that it should be disbanded.
“Zacc should be disbanded if it does not have the capacity and the political will to investigate the chronic corruption that is killing us, if it cannot act independently, of course this must be part of a raft of wider political reforms as we repeatedly demand in the MDC Alliance,” she said.
Mahere’s remarks came at a time when Auditor-General Midlred Chiri has released reports exposing corruption in government departments.
