PAC raises red flag over Health ministry poor financial management

THE Public Accounts Committee (PAC) yesterday raised a red flag over appalling financial management at the Ministry of Health and Child Care due to poor accounting skills attributed to the recruitment freeze by government.

The development has resulted in poor management of medicines by different government hospitals.

PAC chairperson Paurina Mpariwa yesterday presented a report in the National Assembly on the Health ministry’s 2015 Appropriation Accounts and the 2011 to 2014 fund accounts.
