Whistleblowers To Be Rewarded & Protected

Amendments to the Anti-Corruption Act will reward and protect whistleblowers, a report has revealed.

The Sunday Mail claims to have proposals contained in the principles for the amendment of the Anti-Corruption Act which is said to be now before the Attorney-General’s Office and the Office of the President and Cabinet. Parts of the recommendations read:

…the law shall provide for rewards to whistleblowers only if the information leads to successful investigations, prosecution and recovery.

Citizens who step forward to disclose wrongdoing, particularly when public safety, health or resources are at stake, should be acknowledged and protected and not to fear being punished or ostracised.

The law shall protect the whistleblower against any disadvantage suffered as a result of whistle-blowing.

This follows the dismissal of eight ZESA employees for whistleblowing on some of the scandals at the power utility. President Emmerson Mnangagwa ordered their reinstatement. The eight are, Florence Taruvinga, Gibson Mushunje, Admire Mudzonga, Ackim Mzilikazi, Given Dingwiza, Tariro Shumba, Stephen Moyoweshumba and Joanes Chingoriwo.
