Boardroom politics killing Zim institutions

Forensic and fraud investigations expert Proctor Nyemba believes the most ineffective boards are found in non-governmental organisations and public entities as most of them are appointed only for window-dressing purposes.

The managing director of the International Control Institute of Zimbabwe which recently convened an Internal Control Congress for Africa also notes that boardroom politics is perhaps one of the biggest plagues for local companies.  

The country has in its recent history witnessed revelations of gratuitous corporate governance malpractices, especially in public entities.

Crucially, most boards, which are supposed to provide oversight, were accused of being complicit with cunning executives.
