THE Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) chairperson Loice Matanda Moyo has dismissed allegations laid against the oil mogul Kuda Tagwirei on basis that they are baseless and fail to meet the required standards to warrant further investigations.

Speaking to state media, Matanda said the information produced by Lewis Matutu on Tagwirei is not sufficient to probe any investigations.

This comes after former ZANU-PF youth commissar Godfrey Tsenengamu and Lewis Matutu labelled The owner of Sakunda Holdings as one of the corrupt cartels who have captured the state.

Matutu further made a report to ZACC laying corruption charges on Tagwirei.

Matanda has however dismissed the allegations by Matutu saying ZACC does not work on general allegations.

“As ZACC, those are not the sort of reports that we expect. There are standards that have to be met. You have to meet basic standards to enable ZACC to open a file”.

“Imagine if ZACC was to open a file based on a general allegation that so and so is corrupt, how many files would we have? We do not just take opinions, they must be some basis for saying someone is corrupt,” she said.

“We are not a political outfit. ZACC is apolitical and we do not want to be used in any political fights. If people have evidence and positive leads, we are their friends,” she said.

“But let me categorically state that we have never received any solid complaints regards their cases. What they said was just an allegation without any prima facie evidence. So whatever matters we are investigating are not because of them.”
