Zimbabwe's tribal National Aids Council (Nac) Board appointed
1 hr ago | Views
As has become a ritualistic routine with Zimbabwean government agency boards, they all have one common trademark tribal imbalance. They are all characterized by excessive representations from one tribal group to the near total exclusion of others.
Representations in government agency boards are never tribally heteroskedastic, but rather they follow a monoskedastic pattern which is quite unfortunate.
A new National Aids Council (Nac) board chaired by Nester Mukwehwa was appointed last Friday with some new faces making their way to the country's Aids response coordinating board.
The 12-member and tribal-imbalanced board was appointed by Health minister Douglas Mombeshora. The board is mainly used as a looting team by those in power.
Other board members are Jaison Dzvetero (vice-chairperson), Matthew Mare, Tendayi Westerhof, Gilbert Chahwanda, Mabel Buzuzi, Rumbidzayi Zinyuke, Isheanesu Nkomo, Jaison Muradzikwa, Beatrice Dupwa, Ralphel Tsivama, Ntombizanele Vella, Wenceslas Nyamayaro, and Bernard Madzima who is the chief executive officer.
Mukwehwa in her acceptance speech said they were ready to serve.
Nac was established through the Act of Parliament of 1999 to coordinate and facilitate the national multi-sectoral response to HIV and Aids.
It is also mandated to administer the National Aids Trust Fund (NATF) collected through the Aids Levy, thus the 3% collected from every worker's taxable income (PAYE) and corporate tax.
Zimbabwe's government and governmental agencies use a tribally biased hiring model. Analyzed from a scientific viewpoint, Zimbabwe uses a biased and heteroscedastic model. And that is a consistently biased and homoskedastic approach which has the effect of favoring one group of people.
Zimbabwe should rather use an unbiased and heteroscedastic hiring model, meaning that any Zimbabwean can get appointed into those positions notwithstanding his/her tribal stripe or orientation:
