Zimbabwean Deputy Finance Minister, Terrence Mukupe, surprised guests during a roundtable discussion in Harare when he said corruption could be positive for the country. Mukupe referenced an article which he read highlighting that the scourge of corruption would benefit the country. “I read an article to the effect that corruption can be also positive for the country. “And the response that this guy made was that government is not a person and it does not eat, it does not breath, it is not motivated to make the transaction work well. So that is a case of positive corruption,” New Zimbabwe quoted him as saying.
