Zinara looking for CEO

THE Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (Zinara) has resumed its search for a chief executive officer.
The CEO position was left vacant last year after the resignation of Frank Chitukutuku, who cut short his contract which was supposed to run until 2015.
His resignation comes after Transport Minister Obert Mpofu voiced concern at how accountability was lacking at Zinara, especially on funds collected at tollgates.
A source said Chitukutuku tendered his resignation in 2013 and gave notification that he will leave on December 31, 2014.
He was on leave from October 31 pending departure on December 31.
His contract was supposed to expire on March 31, 2015. The source would not disclose all the reasons for his departure, but said one of them was that he wanted to "pursue personal business".
Minister Obert Mpofu last year placed Zinara under daily surveillance to monitor revenue collection to improve transparency.
Minister Mpofu directed that Zinara operations be directly linked to the ministry for better monitoring.
The move came after Mpofu dissolved the Zinara board chaired by Abdullah Kassim, as well as the boards of Air Zimbabwe, the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe, the Meteorological Services Department, Road Motor Services, CMED, the Vehicles Inspection Department, the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe and National Handling Services.
