How many times have you complained that your job pays you poo? Well, from now on, you should probably think twice before you make that statement because apparently in Zimbabwe, some people really are.

Much-maligned Zimbabwe Central Bank Governor Gideon Gono was not content stealing money from international organizations . Now he admits to also stealing money from Zimbabwe businesses. In the latest attempt to defend his actions and policies, Gono placed a multi-page homily in the state-controlled press, where he admits to appropriating $20 million from the personal accounts of tobacco and wheat farmers .

However, Gono justifies his actions by stating that the farmers are being compensated. The Zimbabwe government is paying back the farmers with bags of fertilizer .

“Those wheat and tobacco farmers who are owed money by government through the Reserve Bank, are being repaid in the most direct way of supporting their current season’s production activities,” said Gono.

That must be reassuring to both the farmers and their creditors. Personally, I think it’s a load of poo.
