ZACC commissioner in charge of investigations, Mr Frank
Muchengwa confirmed the arrest of Douglas Tapfuma who is the Principal Director
Monitoring and Evaluation in the Office of the President and Cabinet.
“I can confirm that Douglas Tapfuma has been arrested and
he is spending a night at Mabelreign Police Station. He is accused of
unlawfully importing a number of vehicles using the name of the State.
“He made people to believe that he was importing the
vehicles on behalf of the State, when the cars were his. He then brought in the
vehicles without paying duty,” said Commissioner Muchengwa.
A report by a private daily newspaper last year indicated
that Tapfuma was abusing President Mnangagwa’s name and using letters from the
President’s Office to facilitate the importation of vehicles for friends and
relatives duty-free.
The same letters were also allegedly being used to evade
paying Zimbabwe National Road Administration toll gate fees.
Additionally, Tapfuma was fingered in some alleged corrupt
deals, including the “disappearance” of $6,4 million at Hwange Colliery.
