The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) has arrested the former acting chief executive officer of Makoni Rural District Council, Pius Mushaya, on allegations of purchasing a personal house unprocedurally.
In a statement, ZACC said the accused is scheduled to appear at the Mutare Magistrates Court today.
Allegations are that in 2012 during his tenure as acting CEO, the accused misappropriated US$17,500 from the Council’s Capital Development Fund (CDF) to purchase a house for himself as part of his benefits, in violation of council regulations.
