Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) commissioner Frank Muchengwa, has been suspended for misconduct pending a tribunal that will look into what has been described as “corruption allegations”.

Frank Muchengwa was suspended after a complaint of improper conduct was raised against him, and President Mnangagwa is now expected to constitute a tribunal to inquire into his suitability to hold office.

Secretary for Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Mrs. Virginia Mabhiza confirmed the development to The Herald but could not give details on the nature of accusations being leveled against Muchengwa.

She said ZACC was an independent body in terms of the Constitution and disciplinary procedures governing the body were the same as those relating to Judges and the Prosecutor-General where a tribunal would be set up to make recommendations to the President.

Mabhiza said:

ZACC chairperson Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo told the publication that she had seen the correspondence of Muchengwa’s suspension.

She said:

Muchengwa was sworn in by President Mnangagwa in July last year following public interviews that were conducted by Parliament’s Standing Rules and Orders Committee chaired by Speaker of the National Assembly Advocate Jacob Mudenda.

Parliament invited applications and shortlisted people after the resignation of the previous Commission that was led by Dr. Job Whabira.

Following the interviews of about 38 candidates, Parliament submitted the constitutionally-prescribed 12 people from which the President was obliged to appoint eight to sit as members of ZACC.
