Terrence Mawawa|The MDC Alliance has expressed dismay at the appointment of Kudakwashe David Mnangagwa to the National Building Society Board.

Below is the MDC Alliance statement: The MDC is irked by the decision to appoint Kudakwashe David Mnangagwa to the National
Building Society Board.

Just like any other form of corruption, nepotism has no place in a democratic society. We have made
the point of a total failure to break from the past by the regime.

In previous arrangements, we witnessed appointments of President Mugabe’s kins and folk
to influential positions including the appointment of both Bona Mugabe and her husband to state institutions.

The MDC in the SMART document argues that combating corruption and parastatal reform are part of reshaping the state institutions in an endevour to create a modern functional state.

We are of the view that the NBS must be concentrating on a radical housing program specifically for Development and Urbanisation of
Rural Areas (DURA).

Appointing a Mnangagwa to the board will not help this cause. As a NSSA-owned bank, a clear appointment procedure must be used and appointments must be made public.

In our SMART document we suggest public interviews for appointments of this level.We also restate that NSSA reform is imperative to ensure the commercial section brings back profits to the core business of paying out pensions, we find this kind of corruption to be an impediment.
More importantly institutions meant to combat corruption must investigate these kinds of decisions.

The Judiciary, National Prosecuting Authority, Zimbabwe Republic Police and the Anti-Corruption Commission must be strengthened and their
independence guaranteed in line with reforms outlined in President Chamisa’s five point plan.
