In a move that smacks of an intention to get rid of military elements in critical government posts, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has removed Retired Brigadier Gerald Gwinji from his position as the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Heath and Child Care.
Mnangagwa has appointed Dr Agnes Mahomva as Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Heath.
In a statement, Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Dr Misheck Sibanda said:
“The Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet is pleased to announce that His Excellency the President has, in terms of Section 205 (1) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (Number 20) Act 2013, appointed Dr Agnes Mahomva as the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Health and Child Care and Mr Simon Masanga as the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare.
“The appointments of Dr Mahomva and Mr Masanga as permanent secretaries are with effect from 1st May, 2019.”
Gwinji’s next destination is not yet known though he is likely to be re-appointed.Zimeye
