Public Accounts Board Chairman Tendai Biti is intended to lead the battle versus corruption from within the parliament. Biti, in this role, is tossing accusations left, right and also centre.
His work is to check out corruption, graft and the misuse of public funds as well as call them to account.
Nonetheless, it shows up that in this instance, the pet cat is left securing the cream.
Biti has no ethical or ethical right to call others to task when he has never been held to account for his own corruption, graft and also misuse of public funds, much of it from the time he was Money Priest in the Government of National Unity age.
Also people in his very own celebration, like MDC-T Vice President, Obert Gutu, have actually been vocal in their allegations.
According to popular resources, Biti supposedly advised the National Social Security Authority (NSSA) to deposit over US$ 30m into 2 banks which have actually since collapsed.
The cash was transferred into Interfin Vendor Bank as well as Renaissance Bank on various events. A person elderly instructed that the cash from the general public bag need to go to these banks even recognizing they remained in monetary distress.
" Numerous public funds in US dollars vanished in the now fallen down Interfin Financial institution Limited as a straight outcome of the deceptive tasks of some corrupt however loud-mouthed MDC Cupboard Ministers throughout the GNU age. This is not fiction. It's a reality. ZACC is investigating," said Gutu, directly implicating Biti. "Corruption is corruption, no matter that commits it. I will always speak reality to power. Let ZACC complete its examinations and after that you will certainly be shocked by the level of duplicity and corruption. It's game on."
Furthermore, probably connectedly, two years ago, when Biti was undergoing a separation from his better half, it was exposed that he had several properties in very wealthy neighbourhoods and high-end vehicles.
While everybody is entitled to get anything they please, Biti has never been able to discuss where and exactly how he accumulated this enormous wide range. In the past, he has actually blasted Zanu-PF leaders for what he labelled 'primitive build-up of riches', yet the properties provided in the separation proceedings do not show the placement he has actually opposed in the past. He has abjectly rejected to explain how he acquired those homes as well as various other accruements of wealth.
So, Biti is a person who has actually been involved in corruption, abuse of public funds, has large quantities of wealth from unexplained sources, as well as hypocritically bashes others for wide range whereas he purchases as lots of residential properties as well as fast automobiles cash can acquire.
Is this actually the person suitable to lead our nation's fight against corruption?
Clearly Tendai Biti is a risk not!
