The\u00a0Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (ZINARA)<\/a>\u00a0has sacked its tolling manager Ostern Chimedza for failing to plug financial leakages at tollgates running into millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

The Herald<\/em>\u00a0was told that Chimedza was given several reports of internal audits showing evidence of massive corruption at tollgates, but failed to take action. The source is quoted as saying:<\/p>\n

In particular, he did not roll out and implement effective tolling systems, leaving a porous system susceptible to theft and fraud by tolling cashiers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Mr Chimedza failed to act on evidence from internal audit, as well as the system provider which had pointed towards revenue leakages.<\/p>\n

\u2026 Mr Chimedza also failed to take appropriate disciplinary action against tolling cashiers who had excesses and shortfalls which were only picked via internal audit spot checks.<\/p>\n

ZINARA recently axed 30 cashiers for fraud and theft at tollgates. 14 of the fired cashiers were based at Skyline tollgate along the Harare-Masvingo Highway, while the other 16 were from Dema, Shurugwi and Shamva tollgates.<\/p>\n

This followed the restructuring of the department by the government which resulted in the dismissal and resignation of several senior managers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
