NPA Responds To ZACC's Criticism

The National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPA) has reaffirmed its commitment to operating independently and upholding the rule of law with diligence and integrity.

In a statement released on Wednesday, February 5, the NPA said that it focuses on thoroughness in its processes and does not rush to bring matters to trial if they are incomplete or lack sufficient evidence.

The NPA works closely with investigative agencies to support their efforts in ensuring successful prosecutions.

This statement follows criticism from the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC), which on Tuesday condemned the NPA’s decision to withdraw fraud cases against several senior Harare City Council officials.

Questions were raised after the acquittal of town clerk Hosiah Chisango and five others involved in a US$9 million tender fraud case, which also includes Moses Mpofu and Mike Chimombe, who are currently incarcerated.

In response, the NPA said that successful prosecutions depend on the quality of investigations, in what appears to be criticism of ZACC. It said:

The success of prosecution is directly linked to the quality of conducted investigations. NPAZ takes pride in presenting only ready and complete matters in court, adhering to high standards and constitutional responsibilities.

The decision on how to proceed with cases rests on our constitutional prerogative to initiate criminal proceedings, and we are dedicated to fostering productive partnerships with supportive government agencies for a robust justice system.

The NPA also disclosed that it received 314 dockets from the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission.

It added that while not all of these cases were immediately ready for trial, they have been thoroughly reviewed and are being scheduled for prosecution.

NPA capitalising on ZACC poorly prepared dockets to fattening their pockets with bribes from offenders.

Why are the dockets poorly prepared in the first place. Poorly prepared dockets include leaving out essential evidence from the dockets after being bribed by the accused then forwarding the docket to NPA so that when prosecution fails to kick off the blame is shifted to NPA. ZAAC yako knows very well that if it takes a dead case to NPA wese wanodya

ZACC should concentrate on quality investigations than to present shoddy dockets to NPA they complain when the cases are withdrawn from trial due to lack of evidence
