Accuse of and condemn for are both correct?

HI Mates,

Well,I m please to be here again cos i found out here is the most efficient way for me to gear my english grammer up to a perfect level.

anyway below are the questions for this time,thanks to look at it!

Commonly we have seen To ACCUSE OF is correct why not TO ACCUSE FOR instead? but TO CONDEMN FOR is rather seen more popular than TO CONDEMN OF ...pls enlighten

examples:

1. He is accusing him OF(instead of FOR here) not doing his job.
2. I condemn him FOR (OF is seen inappopriate here) not answering my question!

I would hope to have your kind answers with reasons ,I find no clue of how to have one..Many thanks
