Jane Mlambo| The newly appointed Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission chairperson Justice Loice Matanda Moyo has threatened corrupt officials in the country that its nolonger going to be business as usual as she is keen to prosecute and send to jail those who will be found on the wrong side of the law.

Addressing journalist at her first press briefing, Matanda Moyo said prisons should be expanded to accommodate the culprits.

“If ZACC is to deal with every matter reported, then our prisons should be expanded in order to accomodate the culprits. Whilst other countries are closing their prisons for lack of clients, Zimbabwe Prisons will be open for business,” said Matanda-Moyo.

She added that ZACC has since her appointment handled 38 cases of which 10 are high profile.

Matanda-Moyo added that in future, ZACC will profer charges of obstruction of justice to anyone interfering with investigations.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa is yet to name other commissioners with interviews already done, and Matanda said they will be fully operational once the other team members come on board.
