President Emmerson Mnangagwa has reiterated the importance of merit, competence, and experience in the appointment of individuals to public sector boards.
The President emphasized that appointments should not be based on political affiliations or personal connections but on the qualifications and capabilities of candidates.
“The appointment of persons into public sector boards must be based on merit, competence, and the requisite experience,” President Mnangagwa said.
The President’s remarks come amid growing concerns over the politicization of public sector appointments, with many arguing that key positions have been filled with individuals who lack the necessary qualifications. Mnangagwa’s push for merit-based appointments is part of a broader effort to improve governance, transparency, and accountability in the public sector.
