The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) says criminal abuse of duty and fraud are the most prevalent crimes reported in 2022, with the highest number of complaints made against public officials.
This came out in the ZACC 2022 annual report received by the Parliament of Zimbabwe recently.
According to the report, which was seen by <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200019798/zacc-flags-corruption-in-govt">NewsDay</a>, of the 684 reports received by ZACC, 332 (48.50%) were about criminal abuse of duty and 247 (36.10%) fraud.
Theft or theft of property, which amounts to 29, money laundering (21), bribery (11), forgery (nine), extortion (six), tax invasion (six), smuggling (four), and three externalisation cases, are some of the reported cases. Part of the report read:
<blockquote>
A crime analysis shows that reports of criminal abuse of duty and fraud remain the most prevalent crimes reported in the year under review.
These were mostly concentrated in local authorities and rural district councils where the compliance teams had not conducted any reviews.
Further categorising these complaints into sectors, from the 684, 335 were against public officials, representing 68,4% of the total reports received; 175 were against officials or entities in the private sector, representing 25,58% of the total; and 66 were against land barons, representing 9,64% of the total.
Of the 335 complaints received against public officials, 255 were against public officials in various government ministries, and 80 were against public officials in local authorities and parastatals.
The commission handled 16 complaints against elected officials, chiefs, headmen and village heads.
</blockquote>
ZACC also revealed that cases involving public officials in government ministries were mostly against those in Lands, Agriculture, Water, and Rural Resettlement; Mines and Mining Development; and Local Government and Public Works ministries. ZACC said:
<blockquote>
Forty-six of the complaints were against officials from the Lands Ministry, particularly the Lands Department. Most of the allegations against officials from the local authorities relate to the illegal sale of land or residential stands.
These corrupt tendencies were worsened by the emergence of land barons. For the year 2022, apart from arrests, the commission also focused on improving integrity, accountability and transparency in local authorities.
</blockquote>
Former ZACC chairperson Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo was cited as saying ZACC investigated a total of 157 (62%) and referred 134 (53%) dockets to the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ) from the 253 cases approved by the selection committee for investigations. She added:
Improved engagement with the NPAZ bore fruit as the year 2022 saw the commission recording a 72% conviction rate of the cases it had referred to the National Prosecuting Authority at the completion of trial.
Criminal abuse of duty involves a public officer, such as a government official or civil servant, intentionally abusing their position or authority for personal gain or to cause harm to others.
It refers to situations when a public officer acts unlawfully, dishonestly, or improperly beyond their duties, and their actions amount to a criminal offence.

Corruption Prevalent In Government Offices - ZACC

The Clerk of Parliament, Kennedy Chokuda and the director of procurement, Stanley Bhebhe, appeared in court on Thursday charged with two counts of Criminal Abuse of Duty as a Public Officer as defined in section 174 of the Criminal Law [Codification and Reform] Act Chapter 9:23.
The two men appeared before Harare regional magistrate Vongai Guwuriro, who granted them $100 000 bail each, reported <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/clerk-of-parliament-granted-bail-in-messy-computers-deal/">H-Metro</a>.
She ordered them not to interfere with State witnesses.
The court heard that on 17 June 2022, the Parliament of Zimbabwe flighted an advert inviting interested bidders for the supply and delivery of 173 laptops and 79 desktops.
Ninety-two (92) companies showed interest, and the number was reduced to 30 after some were disqualified for different reasons.
On 29 October 2022, Mid-End Computers was notified by Parliament that it had been awarded the contract to supply 79 desktops at US$3 076 each for a total of US$243 052 payable at the interbank rate.
Treasury, however, refused to release the payment citing the extortionate prices.
The court further heard that on 16 September, Bhebhe originated a letter, on the instructions of Chokuda, to the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (PRAZ) asking for authority to negotiate a price reduction.
Bhebhe in turn instructed Rudo Doka, the director of external relations, to append her signature on Chokuda’s behalf, as he was away.
But PRAZ replied and advised Parliament that negotiating a price reduction was against Section 52 of the Procurement Act which prohibits negotiations between procuring entities and bidders.
Prosecutors said the two asked for authority from PRAZ although they had already negotiated for a price reduction with Noah Sakudye, the director of Mid-End Computers on 7 September.
An agreement was reached and the price was reduced from US$243 000 to US$180 000 for the supply and delivery of 79 desktops.
It was alleged that the meeting was chaired by Parliament’s chief director of finance, Bernard Zvamada.
They allegedly submitted an unsigned Standard Bidding Document which would ordinarily be signed by Chokuda as the accounting officer.
Prosecutors said Chokuda should have cancelled the tender and re-tendered.
On the second count, Chokuda and Bhebhe unlawfully negotiated a tender that was issued to Blinart Investments.
The duo allegedly negotiated with Elizabeth Muchenje, the director of Blinart Investments Pvt Ltd, on 9 September.
An agreement was reached on the same day to reduce the price of a single laptop from US$9 264 to US$7 985.

Clerk of Parliament, Kennedy Chokuda, Granted $100 000 Bail

Zvishavane District Nursing Officer Tiny Mhlanga was on Friday sentenced to 30 months in prison after she was found guilty of criminal abuse of duty as a public officer.
Mhlanga (59), who is the superior in the district, ordered clinics in her area to buy gas stoves from her and her daughter Paidamoyo at inflated prices.
The gas stoves were to be used to prepare food for delivering mothers.
After a full trial, Mhlanga was found guilty on six of the nine charges she was facing and was sentenced to 30 months in prison.
However, Mhlanga will serve an effective 24 months after local Magistrate Archie Wochiunga suspended six months of the sentence for 5 years on condition of good behavior.
Prosecutor Lloyd Mavhiza told the court that the accused initially told the nurses that clinics that did not have electricity were to purchase gas tanks to be used to prepare food for mothers giving birth at their health centres.
Mavhiza said Mhlanga later gave nurses in charge of clinics a directive that gas stoves were going to be delivered with 3kg gas tanks for US$100.
However, 5kg gas stoves were later delivered and the price was increased to US$150.
Hospital drivers delivered the gas tanks while others were collected from Mhlanga’s house.
The receipts were issued in the name of Paidamoyo Mhlanga, the accused’s daughter.
The accused denied the charges and insisted that she did not give a directive to the nurses to purchase the property without following procurement procedures.
She however, admitted that there was a nurse meeting in 2014 where she suggested that clinics should buy gas stoves.

Zvishavane Nurse Goes To Jail For Criminal Abuse Of Office

A Karoi man and his son have been dragged to court for allegedly mounting an unsanctioned roadblock where they demanded bribes.
Mangezi Sithole (48) and his offspring, 24-year-old Talent Sithole, who are both members of the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) Neighbourhood Watch Committee stationed at Karoi Rural, appeared before Karoi magistrate Felix Chauromwe on Friday.
The duo was charged with contravening Section 174, or alternatively Section 134, which relate to criminal abuse of duty and extortion, respectively.
The pair was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody to 13 August for routine remand.
The complainant in the matter is Peter Kanyungwa (31), a kombi operator.
Prosecutor Gerald Dhamusi said on 28 July this year, at around 2:30 pm, the complainant who owns a kombi, loaded 16 passengers and proceeded towards Magororo in Magunje.
Kanyungwa drove along Karoi-Chirundu highway heading towards Magunje but diverted off the main road to avoid a police roadblock mounted at the 204-kilometre peg.
After driving for about three kilometres along a detour dust road that passes through farms, the complainant was stopped by the Sitholes, who wore ZRP uniforms and were armed with batons.
Both accused persons allegedly demanded from Kanyungwa US$20 to allow him passage, accusing him of operating in contravention of COVID-19 regulations.
The complainant however indicated he could pay US$10, and pleaded for the duo to accept it.
However, the father and son team refused to back down, and as they haggled over the bribe, Kanyungwa phoned the Karoi Traffic officer-in-charge only identified as Inspector Shari.
Insp Shari teamed up with district police commander, Chief Superintendent Helena Mahonde, who rushed to the scene.
Upon arrival, the police bosses arrested the Sitholes and took them to Karoi Urban police station.
It was later established that the pair had, two days earlier, mounted another illegal roadblock on the same road stretch where they extorted US$17 from Kanyungwa who, however, never lodged a formal police report.
