The National Social Security Authority Board said the recruitment process for substantive management at the institution is progressing well and at an advanced stage. The NSSA Board appointed recruitment committee (led by the Human Resources committee chairperson, Mrs Nester Mukwehwa) is already seized with processing the final short-listed candidates for final interview and psychometric evaluation before substantive appointments are made.“The response to the adverts has been overwhelming with some 500+ applicants (all of whom are Zimbabwean with vast relevant experience) for the four positions of General Manager/Chief Executive, Chief Operating/ Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Property Investment Officer,” said NSSA in a statement yesterday.
NSSA said with this overwhelming response and the need to carefully consider and ascertain the most suitable candidates to take NSSA forward, there has been a delay in concluding the envisaged appointments.
It is anticipated that the Board will be able to report on the updated position regarding the appointment of substantive management together with NSSA’s first quarter 2016 formal report on or before April 30, 2016.
“In order to ensure continuity and minimise disruption to the Authority and the new course being chartered by the Board, the Board has resolved to extend the acting appointments of, inter alia, the General Manager, Investments Director, Finance Director, Corporate Services Director and ICT Director, whose incumbents will continue to represent NSSA in the same capacity with effect from 1 April 2016,” said NSSA.
NSSA has already appointed new board members at investee companies with their key deliverables being good governance and prohibition of related party transactions among others.
The Board will continue to monitor the performance of the investee company boards, demanding greater transparency and accountability and using our shareholder rights.
