Economic Planning and Investment Promotion minister Simon Khaya-Moyo has lashed out as some of his cabinet colleagues whom he accused of personalising their portfolios and engaging in ‘things which are totally unacceptable'.
He said the conduct of the un-named ministers was depressing.
Speaking at a business conference organised by the Affirmative Action Group (AAG) in Bulawayo on Friday, Khaya Moyo said while the country was endowed with countless high value minerals, little was being realised due to lack of accountability.
"We hear of so much diamonds but where does (the money go) to.
"Unless we become a country of accountability we cannot progress. People do as they please.
"We have seen a lot of depressing conduct of some leaders doing things which are totally un-acceptable.
"You are accountable to yourself. You say it's my ministry, really? It's the people's ministry.
"You get to those positions from the people. You serve people first and not yourself first. We cannot allow that to happen," he is quoted saying by Southern Eye.
