Graft ‘bleeding’ ZimStat

ZIMBABWE’S statistics agency has been rocked by reports of grand corruption involving senior management, with the entity said to be losing millions of dollars to systematic corruption.

This comes as the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZimStat) faces a lawsuit for failing to pay enumerators who took part in the national census in April this year.

Whistleblowers in the agency have filed a report with the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc), citing widespread graft at the institution.
