A team from the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission is on a nationwide campaign to educate secondary school learners, teachers and ancillary staff on the evils and dangers of corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This in line with the Presidential pronouncements on zero tolerance to corruption and the strengthening of the anti-corruption drive and demystifying the perception that the organisation is a toothless bulldog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team toured Rujeko, Gweshe, Howard and Langham high schools in Mazowe District of Mashonaland Central province on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leader of the team, ZACC manager responsible for public education, research and publicity, Dr Onesmus Nyaude, said they were targeting learners because they were the future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis campaign is in line with the Presidential pronouncements on zero tolerance on corruption and strengthening the anti-corruption drive,\u201d he said. \u201cThis way we decided to embark on this programme to demystify the perception that ZACC is a toothless bulldog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cZACC has a broader mandate which include public education, corruption prevention, investigation and international cooperation, which is supported by the constitutional mandate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Nyaude said ZACC has a new look which reflects the seriousness of the Second Republic in tackling the scourge of corruption as it will be enlisting the public, public entities and the private sector support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said so far they covered 28 schools in Mashonaland East and they intend to educate about 25 secondary schools in Mashonaland Central Province and eventually the whole country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tour comes after the Government gave ZACC arresting powers in a bid to intensify the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
