Corruption by provincial social welfare officers in the distribution of food aid is disadvantaging the growing number of vulnerable people waiting to be fed following successive droughts which hit the country, a senior Government official has said.
Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Prisca Mupfumira told a local publication that social welfare officers should desist from any corruption linked endeavours in the food mitigation process as that would attract strong disciplinary measures.
Minister Mupfumira said there was need for officials to remain professional, efficient, accountable, committed and at the same time empathetic in the face of limited resources versus an ever increasing number of needy clients.
