Ministers yet to respond to Mugabe's directive

Finance Minister Ignatius Chombo revealed that ministers are yet to respond to President Robert Mugabe’s directive to provide updated status reports of State enterprises that fall under their portfolios.

Said Chombo:

His Excellency the President could not have been any clearer — in terms of his frustration or his determination to act — than in his pointed remarks about State entities when he met the private sector early last month. In response to those remarks, all Ministries were directed to provide updated status reports on all State entities within their respective portfolios. Response to that directive has been slow. Relevant heads of Ministries – together with the respective management structures of the entities which fall under them – are advised to devote more time and attention to fulfilling the terms of that directive.
