Auditor-General leaves government

AUDITOR-GENERAL (AG) Mildred Chiri has left government service after a 13-year stint, where she could have angered some quarters with her adverse reports exposing abuse of public funds by various government departments.

Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa yesterday announced Chiri’s departure, but did not give details.

Instead, Chinamasa gave notice in the National Assembly that today he would move a motion in terms of section 310 of the Constitution to discuss the appointment of her successor, Mike Ndudzo.
