Some remarks fron the Chairperson
"There is need for Sadcopac reports to be adopted in Parliament so that the laws which are supposed to assist in curbing corruption are implemented. Namibia& South Africa already have Whistleblower Laws.
"Currently, Zimbabwe don't have a stand-alone whistleblower law despite draft legislation being in progress. Full legal protection for those who report wrongdoing is lacking. We need to look at all these loopholes and continuously refine the laws to respond to societal changes& needs.
"Working with academia and researchers is very paramount. Institutions such as AFRODAD, UNDP, AFROSA-E are very important as they are willing to support. Hon Warren Mwambaza, Sadcopac Chairperson, said such cooperation is key.
"We need to get to a level where such forums lead to tangible products. On the positive side there are already many laws to deal with corruption so there is a need to identify where the challenge is. No one is a sacred cow and leaders have to account for their wealth.
