THE Zanu PF youth league has called on President Emmerson
Mnangagwa to avoid appointing corrupt party officials into his Cabinet, saying
he must show character and stand his ground on bringing sanity in the
Executive.
Zimbabwe is among the lowly ranked countries on the
corruption index with many senior government officials accused of embezzling
millions of dollars in public funds, yet they have remained untouched.
Mnangagwa, who was inaugurated as President on Sunday, is
yet to assemble his Cabinet.
Zanu PF youth league secretary for commissariat, Godfrey
Tsenengamu said they have their own expectations, although Mnangagwa had the
prerogative to appoint whoever he wanted.
“Our position as the youth league is that the President is
going to come up with a team of competent ministers who are corrupt free and do
appreciate the needs of the Zimbabweans,” he said.
“We need people who are hardworking and selfless and loyal
from a Zimbabwean cause. We want people who understand the needs of the youths,
those who are ready to uplift the youths in various ministries.
“We would wish the President comes up with a team that will
take us to the next level of economic development and that will require
committed people. We have communicated with the President our general
expectations, but it is his prerogative.”
Tsenengamu also said as the youth league, they will not
lobby for anyone to be appointed into Cabinet. Newsday
