By A Correspondent- The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) has defended one of its officials, Eric Chacha, accused of criminal abuse of office following reports that the commission had ignored to investigate him despite the case having been highlighted to the anti-graft body.

Chacha was early this year accused of obstructing the course of justice and criminally abusing his office, among other allegations.

Reports say letters were to ZACC and other relevant authorities concerning these allegations, and some people have taken to social media asking what action was against Chacha.

Among those who reportedly filed letters of complaint to ZACC against Chacha are senior police officer Commissioner Erasmus Makodza, Chief Superintendent Joseph Josphat Matipforo, and suspended Registrar-General Clement Masango.

ZACC spokesperson Commissioner John Makamure yesterday denied that the commission had received any complaints against Chacha.

“If it’s (Commissioner) Makodza, he knows the procedures. He can either make a report to the police if it’s criminal or file a complaint with ZACC. We have not received any complaint from him (Comm Makodza) or any other (person).

“And those posting on social media, we have not received any complaints from them. So they should file a report because we can’t be investigating every report on social media,” he said.
