Zacc, a case of all froth no beer

- Chief Chiduku

ALL along, people had come to believe that this body named Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) really exists.

It is surprising that people are too blind to see that it is another Zanu PF ploy to woodwink the suffering majority to believe something is being done to arrest corruption in the country.

But alas, Zacc was establishe­d to cover up and silence the warcry on massive looting which has been going on since independen­ce. Has this commission ever convicted an individual on corruption charges?

Ever since it started its investigat­ions which are carried out only in the media, no one has ever been convicted.

Tell me of any alleged criminal who was part of those surroundin­g the late former President Robert Mugabe was convicted.

What happened to Priscah Mupfumira's case?

Former Health minister Obadiah Moyo's case has died a natural death.

US$15 billion of diamond revenue disappeare­d without trace and not even one arrest was made.

Zinara bought snow graders and no one was punished for such a costly boob.

Zacc is a clear case of all froth no beer.

All people are being investigat­ed at their workplaces, but are being cleared by some individual­s whose hands could be not that clean.

I have every reason and right to suspect that Zacc officials are dining with those being investigat­ed.

As the situation stands, now is the time to take Zanu PF headon. It has gone too far in its endeavour to deceive the majority.

There is nothing like an anti-corruption commission existing anywhere in Zimbabwe and this evil misuse of public funds should stop with immediate effect.

Civil servants are yet to receive their salary increments, yet funds are being thrown in a bottomless pit.
