Zanu-PF: The thief screaming robber
28 Jun 2019 at 23:21hrs | Views
Zanu-PF youths have decided to name and shame corrupt individuals within the party made news in past days .Not to be left out was Simon K Moyo promising the nation that the President has decided to have a Commission that will seriously look into the allegations.
This is Zanu-PF for you .Corruption has been its signature from the 80s and not a single party heavyweight from Zanu-PF was made to answer for their corrupt activities.
On the contrary Zanu-PF has rewarded those fingered in corruption by posting to diplomatic posts or moving them to another ministry .
Commissions of enquiry have been set up and their findings never made public .After the Willogate scandal a Commission was set up ,after the GMB scandal another was set up ,VIP housing scheme had another Commission set up ,the list goes on .
When the junta leader says through his parrot S K Moyo a Commission will be set up one wonders what purpose will it serve .
There has been Zimbabwe Anti Corruption Commission which was a toothless agency preying on perceived enemies and used to fight factional wars within Zanu-PF .
Zanu-PF has taken the nation for fools and gullible as we are Zimbabweans will think the party is sincere in its fight against the corruption scourge .The youths list of named corrupt Zanu-PF elements smacks of sheer witch hunting with the witches doing the hunt .Big names were it is public knowledge are corrupt have been left out .
Why are we told these corrupt named individuals are fighting the junta leader ,s efforts to revive the economy ?This only tells us it is the same script of the old factional fights within Zanu-PF disguised as anti corruption drives .
Individuals from Zanu-PF and the military have been named on Chiadzwa diamonds looting .How come they are excluded from this fictious list ?
Zanu-PF can not be fighting corruption when they are the leaders in the scourge .This is akin to a thief shouting robber, robber when it suits them to be the clean ones .
No need for another Commission when we all know they will be appointees appointed by those whose hands are in the cookie jar .The law enforcement agencies are there to investigate and make arrests whereas the Commission will be there to write reports which will gather dust with no action .
The Chinese Communist Party decided to fight corruption by making major arrests .There were no untouchable individuals .Munangagwa thinks announcement of his plans are enough with no action to support his words .
The youths list in as much as they pretend will be nothing but just a fictional crusade
