HOME Affairs Minister Kembo Mohadi said Sunday that the government will pursue all people who had fled the country after they committed economic crimes.

"The anti-graft campaign will spare no one irrespective of their station in life nor the level of political connections. We shed no tears on the arrest of economic saboteurs who derive gratification from the suffering of our people," Mohadi said in Harare.

"Those who fled the country will be pursued through Interpol structures," he said.

He said that the government had learnt lessons from past crisesthat undermined the country's economy.

"As the government, we cannot afford to reward such morally bankrupt elements in the business sector for having caused so mucheconomic hemorrhage and wreckage," Mohadi said.

He said that the decline of good governance had left the economy in bad state and efforts were being made to restore normalcy to the country's economy.

A total of 2,695 criminals have been arrested and convicted forvarious economic crimes since January this year, while a total of 6,376 people have been arrested in connection with cases of economic crimes.
