She said:<\/p>\n<p>This performance rating is a prevention of corruption initiative for the purpose of determining the state of corruption in institutions. Zacc adopted the concept of implementation matrix as an effective tool to ensure consensual and timely correction of identified anomalies and non-compliance with legal, administrative, and operational procedures.<\/p>\n<p>Based on compliance spot checks and investigations conducted in rural and urban councils, an ugly pattern of corruption practices was noted.<\/p>\n<p>She said the compliance spot-check exercises were conducted at rural councils in Umzingwane, Mutoko, Mudzi, Makonde and Zaka and three urban councils, namely Norton, Karoi and Chegutu.<\/p>\n<p>ZACC had placed the institutions into three categories, which are the red zone, which is for institutions that are non-compliant with the system; the green zone, for those that are in total compliance; and the amber, for those that signal partial compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Of the eight local authorities checked, six of them fell in the red zone while two were in the amber, and no local authority fell in the green zone.<\/p>\n<p>She appealed to the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works to intensify capacity-building programmes for councillors, management and staff to enhance high standards of service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>More: NewsDay<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
