PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has appointed Dr Addmore Pazvakavambwa as the new Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works, raising questions over the fate of Engineer Tafadzwa Muguti, who had previously been appointed to the same position in early September this year.
The appointment, which takes immediate effect, was announced in a statement issued by the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Dr Martin Rushwaya.
Dr Pazvakavambwa’s appointment was made in terms of Section 205 (1) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe.
The latest development comes amid executive changes in which Eng Muguti, who was previously serving as Permanent Secretary for Presidential Affairs and Devolution, had also been announced as the new Permanent Secretary in the Local Government and Public Works Ministry.
He was expected to take over from Dr John Basera, who was reassigned to the Zimbabwe Land Commission.
However, the latest announcement naming Dr Pazvakavambwa to the position has raised questions about Muguti’s eventual deployment and whether the earlier appointment has been overtaken by the new development.
