The Government has taken a decisive step to strengthen public financial governance after the Ministry of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion invited qualified professionals to apply for Non-Executive Board Memberships in Central Government institutions.
The move, under the leadership of President Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, signals a clear policy shift towards tighter oversight, stronger accountability, and improved stewardship of public resources at a time when fiscal discipline remains a national priority.
