By A Correspondent- Zimbabweans must adopt a culture of honesty and hard work to curb corruption that has eroded national values, President Mnangagwa said recently.
He said this at a symposium to commemorate the United Nations Anti-Corruption Day.
The symposium was organised by the African Parliamentarians Network Against Corruption, the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) and Transparency International Zimbabwe Chapter.
The symposium ran under the theme; “Taking stock of the anti-corruption agenda in Zimbabwe.”
He said:
“We need to inculcate honest hard work among our people.
When that is done, anybody who sees that somebody does not value hard work, but values criminality; those people will be exposed.
I believe that if all of us continue to say, ‘let us be honest, let us be an honest hard working population, then we can cross the River Jordan. But as it is, there is weakness in every level of society we can talk about. As I said, my Government, my administration will continue to tighten (laws on corruption).”
