"ED Said Externalised Money Was Recovered, Where's It?"

Women in Politics Support Unit executive director, Sakhile Sifelani-Ngoma, has said called for transparency in the management of public finances.

She speaks when there is an increasing concern over inaction on people convicted of corruption. She said that the country should to recover the money that would have been stolen or attained through underhand dealings. She said:

We need to have legal mechanisms like South Africa approaches where those prosecuted will pay back the money. In Zimbabwe we have seen them arrested but they are not able to pay the money back. How can we get the money back? We need the money back.

After corruption dealings for instance, is the hospital which was supposed to be benefiting from the money able to benefit through getting drugs? When President Emmerson Mnangagwa came into power he told us that some money had been recovered but where did that money go? We need stronger accountability.

Meanwhile, efforts to enact legislation (Money laundering Bill) that allows confiscation of ill-gotten wealth are already underway.
