President Emmerson Mnangagwa is set to consider about four opposition officials to serve as commissioners in the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) after Parliament nominated them among 38 candidates shortlisted.

Following the resignation of the Chairperson and Commissioners of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission on 31 January 2019, the CSRO invited the public to nominate persons to be considered for possible appointment to the Commission. Parliament of Zimbabwe received 152 nominations by the closing date of 28th February 2019.

A call for objections to any of the nominated candidates and submission of possible questions to be posed to interviewees was also made and closed on Tuesday 26th March 2019.

The Committee on Standing Rules and Orders thereafter carried out an exhaustive analysis of the nominated candidates to decipher their suitability for consideration to serve on this Commission.

On the list of nominees released by Parliament, and published by the State media, are senior opposition figures including top MDC officials Blessing Chebundo who was the party’s parliamentary candidate for Kwekwe Central in last year’s elections, former MPs Tongai Matutu (Masvingo Central) and Jessie Majome (Harare West).
