The race to fill empty spots at the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission, or ZACC for short, is heating up. Forty-seven people have been picked for public interviews on December 19, 2024. This is happening because the current group of Commissioners is finishing up their time there. It's an important moment for ZACC's future.
Dr. Martin Rushwaya, the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, told the Parliament of Zimbabwe about this. The process started when they asked the public for names of people who could do the job. This is something they have to do according to the Constitution of Zimbabwe. They got a lot of names - 145 in total. There were 112 men and 33 women.
A group called the Committee on Standing Rules and Orders, or CSRO, looked at all the names. They picked the 47 best people for the job. These people will now have to answer questions in front of everyone. This will happen in a special room in the New Parliament Building in Mt Hampden.
Dr. Rushwaya said everyone has to be there by 7 in the morning. If they're late, they can't be part of the interviews. No exceptions!
The people who want the job come from all sorts of backgrounds. Some people used to be in the government, like Gabriel Chaibva and Mayor Wadyajena. There are also lawyers, like Brian Kashangura and Caroline Chigumira. Some are religious leaders, like Rev. Jeremiah Doyce. There's even a retired soldier named Major Michael Santu and a teacher named Dr. Tinashe Rukuni.
Having so many different kinds of people shows how important this job is. ZACC's main job is to fight corruption.
If you want to watch the interviews, you can go to the New Parliament Building. They have a special room for people who want to see it in person. But don't worry if you can't be there. You can watch it online too. It will be shown live on Zoom, Twitter, and Facebook. Just go to the Parliament's website to find the links.
Everyone is excited to see who gets the job. This isn't just about filling empty spots. It's about making sure ZACC can do its job well in the future. It's about protecting the country and doing what's right.
