Zimra raids ZOU offices

Zimra officials raided ZOU offices yesterday as fresh corruption scandals rocked the distance-learning institution after it emerged vice-chancellor Primrose Kurasha and four senior managers allegedly gobbled close to $600 000, pampering themselves with gratuities despite the renewal of their contracts.

The money was reportedly taken from student fees at a moment part-time lecturers, examination markers and service providers had not been paid.

ZOU employees have also reportedly gone close to a year without receiving allowances.

ZOU director of communications Ndai Nyamakura could not comment yesterday on the issue saying those in charge had already left.
