ZANU PF activist and Gweru Prosecutor Namatirai Chipere has resigned from her job following a public outcry on why she was still an active member of a political party while occupying the public job.
Chipere took part and won a position during the Zanu PF District Coordinating Committee elections.
Under current laws of the land, a civil servant is not allowed to actively participate in politics, let alone contest for a political position in any party.
Civil servants are expected to be apolitical.
In June this year, Chiwundura legislator Livingstone Chimina unmasked Chipere as a member of the ruling party, rendering her unsuitable to handle matters involving the opposition.
Prosecutor General Kumbirai Hodzi said he did not have finer details off the top of his head on when Chipere joined and resigned from her position in the National Prosecuting Authority saying he could not remember details of all his over 2000 subordinates.
“I’m told as of now she has resigned. Can you check with the secretariat in the corporate affairs department? They are the ones keeping the records,” Hodzi said. NewZimbabwe
