By Own Correspondent- The Zimbabwe Anti Corruption Commission has confirmed that aid meant for tropical Cyclone Idai victims was looted confirming investigations and a series of stories run by this publication regarding the issue.

Addressing the media today, the newly appointed ZACC Chairperson, Justice Loice Matanda Moyo said:

“Prevention is better than cure as the saying goes. As ZACC we have the mandate to assess systems for both private and public institutions to plug loopholes for corruption.

ZACC has conducted six system reviews involving five central hospitals and the Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council. The Commission has also conducted two compliance spot checks on the management of Cyclone Idai resources in Chimanimani and at the National Blood Service Zimbabwe.

In all cases, the findings are of a great concern to ZACC and we implore the Institutions concerned to institute the corruption preventative measures recommended. It is our wish as ZACC that legislation amendments be made to the Anti-Corruption Commission Act to provide sanctions for non-compliance.”
