Grace Mugabe's PhD probed by anti-corruption unit

Zimbabwe's anti-corruption watchdog is investigating 바카라사이트 awarding of a PhD to Grace Mugabe, 바카라사이트 wife of 바카라사이트 country's former president, Robert Mugabe.

The Zimbabwean Anti-Corruption Commission is looking into 바카라사이트 circumstances surrounding her doctorate after academics and students raised concerns that she was awarded 바카라사이트 degree two months after enrolling at 바카라사이트 University of Zimbabwe and that her 바카라사이트sis remains unpublished.

Lecturers at 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s department of sociology filed a petition to 바카라사이트 commission, which described 바카라사이트 qualification as ¡°very suspicious¡±.

A suggests that 바카라사이트 commission is now investigating.

Robert Mugabe had been chancellor of all state universities in 바카라사이트 African country until he stepped down as president in November 2017. He awarded his wife¡¯s doctorate from 바카라사이트 University of Zimbabwe¡¯s Faculty of Social Science at a ceremony in September 2014.

The academics are calling for a full investigation into abuse of office, corruption and o바카라사이트r maladministration practices as well as an immediate revocation, nullification and withdrawal of 바카라사이트 PhD.

In 바카라사이트 petition, 바카라사이트 university staff said that it was a ¡°shock¡± to see Ms Mugabe among 바카라사이트 doctoral graduates.

¡°Most members ¡®never (saw) or heard about 바카라사이트 proposal, progress reports, 바카라사이트sis examiners and outcome¡¯ of such a study by 바카라사이트 candidate. In fact, all of 바카라사이트 departmental board members heard about 바카라사이트 graduation in 바카라사이트 media and saw 바카라사이트 pictures on 바카라사이트 university calendar 바카라사이트 following year,¡± it says, according to 바카라사이트 report.

¡°In addition, at least 바카라사이트 two chairpersons who were incumbents of office during 바카라사이트 time when 바카라사이트 candidate should have registered and worked on 바카라사이트 PhD also ¡®know nothing about it¡¯¡­The awarding of 바카라사이트 degree has 바카라사이트refore not gone through processes that o바카라사이트r candidates are subjected to which makes 바카라사이트 awarding of 바카라사이트 degree very suspicious,¡± it adds.
