Terrence Mawawa, Chiredzi | Newly appointed Local Government Minister, July Moyo has vowed to weed out corrupt council officials here, it has emerged.
Several officials including councillors were fingered in cases of corruption and they were never prosecuted because they enjoyed protection from former Minister, Saviour Kasukuwere.
An official from Chiredzi Residents and Ratepayers Association told ZimEye.com last week Moyo had invited them to bring the damning report they compiled against corrupt council officials.
The Chiredzi Residents and Ratepayers Association Official also said Moyo promised them that all corrupt officials would be fired.
“We will soon send a high powered delegation to hold a meeting with Minister Moyo.
The Minister also vowed to weed out corrupt elements.
We compiled several letters that were swept under the carpet by Kasukuwere,” said the official.
The chairperson of Chiredzi Residents and Ratepayers Association, Jonathan Muusha Mupamombe said he hoped the new Minister would deal with numerous cases of corruption affecting Chiredzi Town Council.
“There are several cases of corruption which were swept under the carpet by Kasukuwere. I am happy the new Minister has promised to deal with corruption decisively,” said Mupamombe.

That is a joke in Zim. All that will happen is that the factions will fight it out and G40 council officials will be fired without any court cases of any pronouncements of guilty verdicts.
It is a purge of G40. rightly so, but it should not be announced as a corruption case else all officials will be dismissed.
