President Mnangagwa has removed Mr Frank Muchengwa as a commissioner with the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC).
Mr Muchengwa, who has been on suspension since September 2020, was accused of corruption.
In October 2020, President Mnangagwa ordered the setting up of a Tribunal to assess his suitability for office.
On Thursday, the Tribunal submitted its findings to President Mnangagwa at State House.
In a subsequent statement, Chief Secretary to the Office of the President and Cabinet Dr Misheck Sibanda said: “The Tribunal has reported its findings to His Excellency, the President, Cde Dr E.D Mnangagwa, and has recommended that Commissioner Frank Muchengwa be removed from the office for acts of gross misconduct.
“Accordingly, His Excellency the President, acting in terms of Section 187 (8) of the Constitution, has removed Commissioner Frank Muchengwa from office with immediate effect.”
The Tribunal was chaired by Retired Justice Nicholas Ndou.
Mr Muchengwa is a retired Superintendent who served the Zimbabwe Republic Police for 32 years.
He once headed the ZRP Commercial Crimes Unit.
