THE Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, Felix Mhona, has challenged parastatals under his ministry to think outside the box as the nation prepares to enter the National Development Strategy 2 phase.
Minister Mhona made the remarks in his keynote address at the Ministry’s Public Entities Corporate Governance meeting held at a Bulawayo hotel.
Some of the parastatals under the ministry’s purview include the Central Mechanical Engineering Department (CMED), Zimbabwe National Road Administration (Zinara), Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSCZ), Airport Company of Zimbabwe (ACZ), National Handling Services (NHS), Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ), and Air Zimbabwe.
“As we prepare and come up with our strategic plans for the next five years, we need to think outside the box, let us not do the normal and expected. I was happy that CMED in their strategy want to venture into construction,” said Minister Mhona.
The Minister praised the Second Republic, under the leadership of President Mnangagwa, saying the administration is living true to its promise of being a listening leadership.
“We are fortunate to work under the leadership of a leader as President Mnangagwa, someone who is not rigid but listens to any ideas and if it indeed makes sense, he will tell you to go ahead and implement it so I call upon you to have that in mind,” said Minister Mhona.
