The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) has confirmed the arrest of the Zimbabwean Health and Child Care Minister, Obadiah Moyo on Friday night over the alleged regular purchase of $60million COVID-19 medical supplies.

ZACC spokesperson Commissioner John Makamure said“I can confirm that Minister Moyo is currently detained at Rhodesville Police Station and will likely appear in court today,”.

Makamure said the minister was arrested over shady procurement deals worth $60 million.

Moyo became the second minister to be arrested for alleged corruption in President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government.

Last year, the former tourism minister Prisca Mupfumira was also arrested.
