\"\"Zimbabweans are up in arms after the country’s attempt to model Uganda’s anti-corruptions crusade.<\/p>\n

Zimbabweans are protesting after Chief Justice Luke Malaba invited a Ugandan judge to train judges ahead of the establishment of anti-corruption courts.<\/p>\n

The chief justice said Uganda had waged war against corruption and the head of its anti-corruption court, Justice Lawrence Gidudu, would run a training course for Zimbabwean judges, magistrates and other officials, Zimbabwe’s state-owned Herald newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe’s decision to establish special courts to deal with corruption cases comes after President Emmerson Mnangagwa declared corruption as the country’s biggest enemy, the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwean information ministry’s permanent secretary, Nick Mangwana, tweeted the article. However, the news was not received well by Zimbabweans online who said Uganda was not the best country to learn from.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovt has invited a top-notch Ugandan Anti-Corruption Court judge to train Zimbabwe\u2019s Judiciary, ahead of the establishment of anti-corruption courts. The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), members of ZACC and members of ZRP will all be trained,\u201d he said in a tweet.<\/p>\n

His communication sparked rage among the citizens who fired back on twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
