President Emmerson Mnangagwa has announced that his government has strengthened the fight against corruption through enactment of various bills.
Speaking during the high-level structured dialogue platform forum on arrears clearance and debt resolution process in Harare today, Mnangagwa has also expressed his preparedness to thwart terrorism.
"Meanwhile, the fight against corruption is being strengthened with anticipated enactment of whistleblowers protection, witness protection, anti-corruption amendment; and the asset and conflict of interest bills," Mnangagwa said.
"Further, the private voluntary organisations (PVOs) bill is expected to enhance transparency and accountability within that sector while also augmenting our fight to prevent financing of terrorism and money laundering, through PVOs," Mnangagwa added.
"In order to improve human rights environment in the country, abolition of the death penalty bill is undergoing parliamentary approval processes. The Human Rights Commission has been decentralised," Mnangagwa disclosed.
"The establishment of the Zimbabwe Independent Complaints Commission in line with section 210 of the constitution will undoubtedly enhance the culture of transparency and accountability in our security sector," Mnangagwa said.
In line with the Global Compensation Deed, Zimbabwe made an allocation of US$35 million in the 2024 National Budget and a total of 444 applications were approved by the Compensation Committee.
Meanwhile, former Mozambican President, Joaquim Chissano, who is the high-level facilitator has skipped physically attending the event following a series of thawing domestic political relations experienced in his country which is associated with post-electoral violence and unrest.
