Zinara has now addressed 66 of 71 critical governance issues raised

The Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (Zinara) has now addressed 66 of the 71 critical governance issues raised in the Grant Thornton forensic audit ordered by the government after the abuse of public funds by the parastatal, Parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has heard.

Appearing before the Public Accounts Committee on Monday, Zinara chairman Dr George Manyaya said the state road agency is now working on the final five issues which also involve other key stakeholders.

Manyaya said: "I would like to notify the committee that of the 71 issues that were cited in the Grant Thornton forensic report, with government and the committee's support, we have managed to resolve 66 of them, while five of them are still work in progress as they don't involve us alone but also other key stakeholders."

The Manyaya-led board and management were appointed in 2019 to turn around Zinara and is now doing a much better job compared to the past.
