HON NDUNA: I just want to add my voice to the report by the Public Accounts Committee of which I am a member after having been chucked out of the Mines and Transport Committees but I think now I am in the right Committee. Hon. Speaker Sir, I will touch point by point and I just have 10 points on the report that has been presented by our Chair and seconded by Hon. Raidza, debated by Hon. Mushoriwa and Hon. Sansole.

THE Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (Zinara) unprocedurally awarded lucrative contracts to private entities to supply equipment and services that prejudiced the parastatal of huge amounts of money.
This was revealed in the first report by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on the analysis of Zinara’s audited accounts for 2017 and 2018 which was presented by Gweru Urban legislator Brian Dube in the National Assembly on Thursday.

GWERU Urban MP, Brian Dube has accused some government ministers and functionaries of aiding the illegal sale of state land by controversial Gweru land developer, Smelly Dube who was arrested this past week by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission for the crimes.
Dube is chief executive officer of River Valley Properties.
She had strong links with former President Robert Mugabe’s family to a point of donating a house to the ex-leader in Gweru at some point.
The MP said Dube’s case was just a glimpse of endemic corruption within the corridors of power.
“Corruption levels are very high and commitment to end it is weak as it is taking an average of up to 10 years for individuals to be arrested and prosecuted.
