Who is corrupt, provide evidence, Mugabe demands

President Robert Mugabe has challenged people who accuse his close associates of being corrupt to produce evidence for prosecution.

Mugabe said  he only hear  through rumors that certain officials are corrupt without anyone providing  any evidence.

"Tongonzwa kuti nhingi ari corrupt, nhingi ari corrupt. Zvingadai zviri izvo (and) the big fish might also be capable of hiding their corruption.

"I don't know, but zvinongotaurwa or people are afraid to come out or even come to us and say, aah, uyu kana kuri kuba, arikuba mari dzakati".

On Higher Education minister, Jonathan Moyo, Mugabe said : "We have a case now, we have the anti-corruption, they are at cross purposes with Professor Jonathan Moyo.

"He thinks they are being political and that the funds they say he has used in a corrupt way, were funds that were requested, some by the youths, others by women, by the party in general. Well, the case is going on but there are no cases you can point to of big fish having done this

According to Mugabe, even "small fish" had no place in society as they "have a tendency of growing big"

"So you catch them before they grow bi.  I think the big fish, more of it has been talk, talk, talk and talk. People have not come out and actually said here is a case against the big fish, here are cases against the big fish".
