President Mnangagwa’s son, Emmerson Jnr, has broken his
silence after he was accused of having used the family name to obtain
loans from Commercial Bank of Zimbabwe.
He also denied that he had anything to do with the lists of
corrupt bigwigs.
“In recent days,
there has been a systematic attempt, through the media, to link me to certain
transactions and conduct, with a clear intent to bear public judgment on my
person.
“I would therefore like to make the following facts clear:
(a) I do not currently hold, nor have I ever held, an account with the
Commercial Bank of Zimbabwe (CBZ) neither have I ever transacted with them, (b)
I have no involvement, past or present with a company called Spartan
Investments, (c) I fully support the President’s anti-corruption efforts and
the work of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC): I have had
absolutely no involvement in any efforts to influence or circumvent its
workings.
He said in a statement that as a private citizen, he had
“not given any instructions to anyone in ZANU-PF or any institution” to compile
lists or targets of people to be arrested on corruption allegations.
