PSMAS saga takes new twist

Beleaguered Premier Service Medical Aid Society managing director Mr Henry Mandishona has approached the Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare seeking to stop his disciplinary hearing set for tomorrow.

Mandishona, who is facing an array of charges, is arguing that the stipulated time within which he was supposed to be tried lapsed.

In his letter of complaint to the ministry dated November 2, 2015, through his lawyers, Mandishona said he was seeking intervention from the labour officer because the stipulated 30 days had lapsed before his matter was heard.

This is in line with section 101 (6) of the Labour Act chapter 28:01, which provides for either.
