The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) has arrested Chiredzi West Constituency Member of Parliament, Darlington Chiwa after he reportedly squandered Constituency Development Funds (CDF) on beer and goceries.Allegations are that he committed theft after diverting.
Chiwa who is also the Chairperson of the Chiredzi West CDF is the sole signatory to the Constituency bank account after he allegedly manipulated other community members to rescind their responsibilities over the account.
Investigations established that in April 2025, the Parliament of Zimbabwe transferred ZWG$1 332 430.00 (USD50 000.00) to the Chiredzi West constituency account and the accused transferred the funds into his personal accounts.
Chiwa reportedly used funds amounting to ZWG 993 241.00 to buy building materials, groceries, shoes, and beer for himself and channelled only ZWG270 427.00 towards constituency projects.
The MP then submitted fraudulent acquittal documents to Parliament, falsely claiming the full amount had been used for school developments.
