Crime Reporter


The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) has arrested former Minister of State for Mashonaland West Province, Reuben Marumahoko, on allegations of fraud involving close to US$38 000.


Marumahoko is expected to appear at Chinhoyi Magistrate Court today (Tuesday).


According to ZACC, Marumahoko allegedly applied for inputs under the Agricultural and Rural Development Authority (ARDA) commercial farmersโ€™ joint venture programme claiming to have the capacity to plant 200 hectares of maize crop on irrigated land.


As a result of the misrepresentation, the former minister was given 2,5 metric tonnes of maize seed, 1 300 bags of Compound D fertiliser and some chemicals.


After receiving the inputs, he allegedly planted 46 hectares of maize instead of 200 and disposed of the remaining inputs, resulting in ARDA suffering s prejudice of US$37 950.


Marumahoko is married to Andy Maririmba, who is on remand for a similar offence, following her arrest and court appearance on November 9, 2024.
