As government is busy initiating frantic measures to increase revenue inflows and get the economy back on its feet, a Harare Hospital Chief Executive Officer one Mrs Peggy Zvavamwe, then purchases a USD$88 thousand worthy vehicle displaying the highest order of defiance and undue abuse of the tax payers' money.
The topics of corruption and misplaced priorities have undeniably become one of the painful subjects to follow as the legalities and common good tussle while the general populace await decisive action on the perpetrators of the cancerous economic malpractice.
Certainly where are the authorities when greedy and unfeeling heads of the nation's strategic institutions line their pockets against calls to front service delivery ahead of lavish lifestyle.
The civil service is currently nursing the injuries incurred after the introduction of the pension's contribution while the health levy is rumoured to be on the cards. To then imagine such individuals will be the ones managing the contributions is disheartening and energy consuming.
For once let's have heads rolling and balance efforts towards getting the economy working again. Instances such as the Harare Hospital CEO have of late been rampant with the culprits walking scot free from prosecution.
If need be let us have economic laws realigned first coupled by a comprehensive and consistent service charter or code of conduct clearly stipulating adjusted benefits in tandem with prevailing economic conditions.
Instances where revelations of this nature are made only to result in the matter being abandoned should be a thing of the past. This development is evidence enough that the heads of various institutions are still demanding and enjoying obscene benefits.
The Public Service Commission should also re-direct its lances to these and alike government arms and ensure everything is in place for the effective take off of Zim-Asset and justification of the taxpayers' money.
Zvavamwe should just reinstitute the funds to the Central Hospital on her way to prison or retirement village. Zimbabwe ought to be left with level headed institutions leaders who are whole-heartedly committed to revival the economy.
Harare Hospital remains one of the institutions that require immediate attention as far as service delivery is concerned. It is a critical component that defines Zimbabwe and should be protected from selfish and thoughtless individuals such as Zvavamwe.
It is high time we set our priorities right as Zimbabweans and this is achievable enforcing compliance from every corner that shapes Zimbabwe. Corruption and obscene benefits continue to dog development in Zimbabwe making it a mammoth task to achieve set goals and above all attract Foreign Direct Investment.
The onus however, lies with government to make sure it gets the right people for the strategic jobs to keep safe the trust of the tax payers. If the tax payers money is put to good use, reflected by tangible benefits to the satisfaction of their needs then Zimbabwe will be a better place for everyone.
