GOVERNMENT has fired the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) board with immediate effect, and a new board is expected soon, Finance and Economic Development Minister Professor Mthuli Ncube has said.
Zimra management will, in the meantime, report directly to Treasury. Prof Ncube said this yesterday in Harare while announcing a raft of fiscal measures aimed at reversing
fiscal dis-equilibrium.
“In order to enhance governance at Zimra, I hereby terminate the term of the current board with immediate effect,” said Prof Ncube.
“I have proposed names of new board members which are currently being cleared.
The new board will be announced in due course. In the meantime, Zimra senior management will be reporting directly to Treasury.”
Zimra senior management has since been directed to cease all recruitment of new personnel until a new board has been put in place. The move is designed to allow the new
board to have input into critical
appointments once it has been put in place.The Zimra board had 10 members- state media
