Over 27 000 senior officials from the Government and 30 State – owned institutions have signed corporate and individual integrity pledges, Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) chairman, Mr Michael Reza, has said.
Speaking at a signing ceremony for integrity pledges by Mutapa Investment Fund board members and senior staff, Mr Reza said commitment to good governance and high ethical standards was the central theme required to propel the country towards its vision of an upper-middle-income society by 2030.
The integrity pledges are formal commitments by organisations to enforce transparency, accountability, and ethical governance in their operations.
The individual pledges are personal, public declarations by high-ranking civil servants to uphold the highest standards of honesty and integrity.
The drive, spearheaded by ZACC, has seen participation by top Government officials, including ministers, the Chief Secretary in the Office of the President and his deputies, permanent secretaries and key public entities.
Today’s event saw Mutapa officials, led by chairman Chipo Mutasa and the chief executive, Dr John Mangudya, signing the pledges.
“All these efforts are aimed at strengthening integrity in the public sector and enhancing the delivery as we glide towards 2030,” said Mr Reza.
“We are here to support, to guide, and to help you build robust systems that prevent corruption before it can take root.”
