Parliament has commended the Zimbabwe National Roads Authority for the road works being done across the country.
The commendation came after the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development and ZINARA management appeared before a joint sitting of the Portfolio Committee on Transport and Infrastructural Development and the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to brief them on governance, contractual agreements and tolling efficiency.
PAC chairman, Mr Caston Matewu said the current ZINARA management, led by chief executive Mr Nkosinathi Ncube, is performing well.
“With the current ZINARA, we are happy with the way things are being done. All we want is for the Authority to collect funds for the construction and rehabilitation of our roads,” Mr Matewu said.
Among other milestones, ZINARA has managed to clear the US$206 million debt owed to the Development Bank of South Africa that was used to rehabilitate the Plumtree-Harare-Mutare highway.
