Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) chairperson Job Whabira said that the commission wants powers to arrest and prosecute suspects implicated in corruption.
Said Whabira:
Zacc needs to have arresting powers, special prosecuting authority and we need to have a whistleblower protection law to make our work easier. The legislative framework, as it is, impinges Zacc’s work.
Zacc chief investigating officer, Alex Masiye, told the Defence and Security Parliamentary Portfolio Committee that they do not have enough qualified staff to conduct investigations across the country.
