Zimbabwe gets special anti-corruption busters
HARARE 22 May (ANA) - Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa has set up a special team to fight corruption, saying he is not happy with the pace of prosecution.
The team will directly answer to him but will also collaborate with other state agencies including the National Prosecuting Authorities, state-owned Herald newspaper reports.
The objective of the team is "to improve efficiency in the fight against all forms of corruption".
The Herald reports that Mr Mnangagwa has vowed to fight corruption as he sees it as an impediment to the country's economic growth.
However, a Zimbabwean academic has reacted to a video of the president making the announcement of the special team, calling it a "kangaroo court".(ANA)
