Spread anti-corruption net to consultancy companies

Chris Ndlovu
WHILE Government is redirecting the Zimbabwean economic turn-around strategy by firstly nipping the corruption scourge in the country, it should spread its net to all corrupt consultants and international corrupt service providers who were part and parcel of looting the country’s hard earned resources.

There are a lot of ghost consultant companies around that deliberately involved in sabotaging the economy by working in cahoots with corrupt individuals who thought they were going to get away with it easily. Some of these so called untouchables act as if they are the only ones that liberated this country. The fortunate part of it all is the ease for government to track these financial “terrorist” companies because they carelessly let a transparent trail for Government to easily trace them.

Zimbabwe should not be a playground for criminals anymore and we thank the new political leadership under President Mnangagwa for taking a hard stance on graft. Zimbabwean should know that it is technically possible to sniff culprits out from their resident countries and apply their resident criminal laws to prosecute them for stealing Zimbabwean resources. Government should also investigate all the so called local advisors and consultants who under their recommendations, our country went into the dungeons of economic chaos when in the meantime they were billing Government millions of dollars in consultancy fees for creating white elephants.

These are the so called economic “hit men” who are skillful and crafty to do exceptional tasks in robbing our country of its resources. It is time such culprits paid back with interest what they stole from us as a country. Mr President, yes it is possible to catch them and bring them to book as long as they are still on planet earth. Unfortunately, Mars, the nearest possible habitable planet has no room for weaklings who line their pockets with fraudulently acquired wealth instead of working hard for their monies. The open source information is all over on all the jobs and consultancies provided by such firms, dead hardware and obsolete software that crushed a number of our Government projects. These people were taking advantage of a corrupt system that was based on throwing certain names on the table in order to get business in Zimbabwe.

We cannot build an economy based on throwing certain names, but through research and hard work. That’s what builds a strong economy. We are overwhelmed with joy for the current Government to be on the right path of listening to the word of The All Mighty God through the voices of the people of Zimbabwe to redirect our great country to its glorious destination. For all these years we were dry bones, now has come a time when our dry bones shall be transformed into meaningful flesh to forge ahead in the transparent governance and leadership. Now is the time when all the Zimbabweans are addressing each other as brothers and sisters. Tribalism, nepotism and racism must be declared a crime in this beautiful land of our forefathers. All those that benefitted from tribalism and nepotism are equally guilty of destroying our once glorious Zimbabwe. Now is the time for Zimbabwe to have the right rich people and the right poor people, and the rich will take care of the poor accordingly. The greatest sanctions that ever bedeviled our country was not the Western Sanctions, but corruption at its highest level. Our billions of dollars are stashed in foreign accounts because of corruption. Unexplained foreign invoices were fraudulently paid externally, of which this economic sabotage formed one of the greatest foreign currency externalization ever experienced in the history of Zimbabwe.

Thank you to technology, because we now know how to trace these monies and assets and how to recall them back into Zimbabwe. Reinvest the monies and build our economy to its maximum levels it deserves. These international criminals need to be brought to book. We will be able as a country through the international treaties to repatriate our resources back to Zimbabwe. Yes Zimbabwe is born again, the dry bones have been transformed into flesh.

Ezekiel Chap.37-Verses 7, explains it all.

The Anti-Corruption Commission and Commercial Crimes Investigators must be well equipped with the latest application technologies to work on bringing back our resources and kindly accommodating the culprits in the right places of incarceration. This will leave behind a legitimate legacy for our generations to come. Once again we feel so proud to be Zimbabweans, where ever we meet we celebrate equally raising our green passports. Zimbabwe is re-born.

God has indeed been kind to us as a country, teach us to leave a God fearing life and taking care of our poor, elderly, orphans and the disadvantaged then thus God will descend from heaven and bless our land.
