HARARE, July 27, 2010 - THE Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) has arrested all its officers manning the Forbes Border Post, Gershom Pasi, Commissioner General, has revealed.

"We arrested all of them because they were found to be corrupt," he said.
"We are now working on arresting officers at Forbes Border Post for also being corrupt. At Forbes 18 officers have been arrested to date," he said
 
Pasi, who  was responding to a question on what he was doing to deal with corruption at Zimra, also said, "We do not tell the public but I can assure you that everyone at Bindura is now in jail," he said.
 
He said he now had a secret officer working in his office to stamp out corruption by Zimra officers all over Zimbabwe. "I have a whistle blower in my office," he said.
 

"We will deal with corruption once and for all," he told the meeting in Harare.
The ZRP have confirmed the arrests in Bindura and at Forbes Border Post.

Editor,

Please there is no border post at Bindura which is only about 80km from Harare. May you please rectify this mistake as it is really embarrassing.

Arresting people at an inland Zimra office for corruption and non at the busy border posts with South Africa, Zambia etc (alleged impending Forbes move-in noted with pinch of salt)seems rather dubious. This story needs a lot more detail to pass as true i.e. names, actual corruption activities, criminal charges etc. We are tired of gesturing and propaganda spare us.
