Zimbabwe: 'Constitution Alignment to Deal With Corruption'

17 February 2015

The Government is expeditiously aligning laws with the new Constitution to deal with corruption cases that have reached alarming levels, Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa has said.Addressing students of the Joint Command and Staff Course Number 28 at the Zimbabwe Staff College in Harare last week on the Zimbabwe Constitution, VP Mnangagwa said the new Constitution has enough provisions for combating corruption. "Chapter 13 of the Constitution further establishes institutions to combat corruption and crime," he said.

"Of note is the establishment of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission. It can be conceded that the prevalence of corruption and fraudulent activities in our society is unacceptable and can only derail the efforts that are in place to achieve the goals set out in the Constitution."
