The Zanu-PF Youth League has stood its ground in the fight
against corruption and revealed last night that a team of 17 lawyers had been
lined up to defend lawsuits following the naming and shaming of allegedly
corrupt Government officials, business leaders and individuals.
Addressing the media after the Zanu-Youth League executive
meeting in Harare last night, deputy secretary Cde Lewis Matutu also said the
youth were solidly behind Government’s removal of the multi-currency regime and
restriction of domestic transactions to the local currency.
A bullish Cde Matutu said: “Those who want to sue us are
free to do so. We are going to expose more and we are not doing this for us,
but for the people of Zimbabwe.
“So far, 17 lawyers are ready to defend us in courts. We
are not going to be intimidated by law suits coming from certain individuals
despite one’s influential position, be it at party level or Government.
“We will continue to expose them and we are prepared for
more summons,” said Cde Matutu. We are also in full support of Government on currency
reforms as this will have a positive impact on the economy.”
He said the Youth League appreciates the intervention of
the Politburo on introducing a commission of inquiry on certain individuals
named and shamed over alleged corruption.
“We are going to take heed from the Politburo to follow the
party’s constitution and correct procedures when naming and shaming those
allegedly involved in corruption.” Herald
