Harare suspends 23 officials over graft
Recently government refused to approve Harare’s 2024 budget citing the lack of a functional computer-based organisational system ( ERP) which has contributed greatly to low revenue collection
HARARE mayor Jacob Mafume has announced that council has suspended 23 officials on allegations of corruption involving millions of dollars, taking advantage of the removal of the proper high-end Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) billing system .
Recently government refused to approve Harare’s 2024 budget citing the lack of a functional computer-based organisational system ( ERP) which has contributed greatly to low revenue collection.
Mafume told journalists that the removal of the ERP in 2019 had created loopholes in having fully audited accounts for the City of Harare with all revenue and payments accounted for.
“We now have over 23 staff in the finance department on suspension pending disciplinary hearings because of a gap, among other things, created by lack of an ERP system and audited accounts,”
