Transport minister Jorum Gumbo has been accused of stalling progress at the Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (Zinara) by refusing to implement recommendations made by international audit firm Grant Thornton.

Gumbo ordered a forensic audit on the operations of the Zinara in June 2016 when he assumed the ministrial post amid growing speculation that the road fund was being abused.

The internal forensic audit, exposed massive financial abuse at the parastatal, including payment payment of $71 million and R31 million to contractors cherry picked without going to tender, among many other irregularities.
