Besides the country losing at least $1 billion annually to corruption, ZIMCODD also said 82 percent of government spending has financial irregularities. It said Zimbabwe loses gold worth $1.5 billion per year due to smuggling. ZIMCODD said: > 54% of Zimbabweans in a study by Transparency International Zimbabwe noted that they had been asked to pay a bribe within the last 12 months while accessing a public service. ZIMCODD has recommended the capacitation of key anti-graft institutions and Parliament, the breaking of cartels that have captured the state, as well as imposing civil penalties for bribery, among others. itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
