By Jane Mlambo| Opposition MDC youths have castigated the ruling Zanu PF over its recent move to name and shame party officials involved in corrupt activities saying they have no locus standi to address issues to do with corruption.

Addressing a press briefing this morning, the MDC youth leader Obey Tererai Sithole said Zanu PF’s greatest form of corruption was denying the people the right to chose leaders of their choice through alleged electoral fraud.

“As a party and as an Assembly, we have always maintained that ZANU PF is corrupt and so to begin with they have no locus standi to comment or let alone address issues to do with corruption.

“The greatest form of corruption is denying the people the right to choose leaders of their choice through electoral fraud and rigging as has been the case with the institution where the ZANU PF Youth League belongs to.

“A party whose officials stink with corruption scandals like the Willogate Scandal, NOCZIM scandal, Marange Diamonds scandal etc has no moral probity to lead the anti-corruption crusade or let alone speak about it,” said Sithole.

He added that President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s much publicized list of cash externalizers had not bore fruits as no single person getting arrested.

“A party whose President enlisted more than 100 cash externalizers but with not even a single person getting arrested or convicted is not fit to talk about anti-corruption,” added Sithole.
