Dr. Job Whabira, the chairman of Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission, ZACC, together with all the commissioners have quit job with immediate effect.

In a statement Thursday, Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Dr Misheck Sibanda affirmed that President Mnangagwa had accepted their resignation letters.

 The commissioners have since gone on leave pending the finalisation of their terminal benefits.

“His Excellency the President extends his gratitude to Dr Whabira and the Commissioners for the sacrifice and efforts they rendered to the country in working towards the elimination of the scourge of corruption which threatens to tear apart the very fabric and ethos of our society,” the statement reads.

President Mnangagwa is now expected to appoint a new chairman and request for nominees from the Parliamentary Committee on Standing Rules and Orders for appointment as commissioners.
