By Own Correspondent| The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) commissioner in charge of investigations, Goodson Nguni, on Monday expressed interest in investigating William Mutumanje popularly known as Acie Lumumba.
Nguni said ZACC is waiting for someone to write a letter with allegations against Lumumba.
He said this in an exclusive interview with a local daily:
“We are waiting for someone to write a letter with the allegations against Lumumba and after that we will ask the police to arrest him.”
This comes after revelations in a local daily that Lumumba was paid $40 000 to smear top Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) officials and businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei.
In a recording which the Daily News reports is in its possession, Lumumba says he was paid $40k as part if the deal which he desperately needed to send his father to India for treatment.
Said Lumumba:
“The only reason why these people got me is they knew I was really in a tough corner. They knew my father wasn’t feeling well. My father needed an operation.
It was actually almost like they tricked me because inini ndakaenda kuna (I went to) … (name of individual withheld on legal advice) and said aah vakomana (gentlemen), how can you guys leave my father suffering like this? You people makashanda mese (you worked together) and you are really going to leave him? Then they said no problem, we will look after him. But there’s something we want you to do.”-DailyNews
