$200 000 which was meant for workers December salaries has reportedly disappeared from Chitungwiza municipality coffers.
Top officials are now leveling accusations on each other, with Finance director, Evangelista Machona, claiming to have transferred about $800 000 into the salaries account in December.
Whilst the acting chamber secretary and Human resource officer, Mary Mukonyora claims only $637 000 was deposited into the account.
Chitungwiza council convened a meeting for a finance committee report where Machona failed to explain the variance between the two amounts stated.
The committee then recommended that the payroll processing function be moved from HR to the finance department and that the matter be referred to full council for further deliberation and consideration.
Recently, four Chitungwiza municipality managers reportedly siphoned more than $650 000 from the council through a suspicious slush fund account which the finance director claimed was for salaries. No arrests were made.
