The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has initiated a full-scale investigation into the procurement of a school bus by Chibuwe Primary School. This follows demonstrations by parents who alleged the bus was purchased for 220,000 dollars without a tender and that its price may have been inflated.
Due to the allegations, the school's headmaster, identified as Mr. Damiso, has been placed on leave to facilitate the investigation. Parents also raised concerns about a lack of financial transparency, claiming the bus is hired out without proper accounting and that unauthorized examination fees are being charged.
The Manicaland Provincial Education Director confirmed that investigative teams and auditors would examine both the financial and non-financial issues. He reported that government intervention had restored order after parents had temporarily withdrawn their children from classes.
