(Bloomberg) — Zimbabwe’s anti-corruption authority arrested Health Minister Obadiah Moyo, following reports of an investigation into a health-equipment deal.
Moyo is currently detained at the Rhodesville Police Station in the capital, Harare, John Makamure, spokesman for the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission, said by phone Friday.
“I cannot disclose why he has been arrested for now,” Makamure said. Calls to Moyo’s phone seeking comment weren’t answered.
The Zimbabwe Independent, a Harare-based newspaper, reported on Friday that the authorities are investigating a deal to supply materials to the government for the management of the coronavirus pandemic at inflated prices.
