President Robert Mugabe has agreed to a diamond audit as pressure mounts on him from civil servants to deliver the salary increments he promised, reports said today. Mugabe promised civil servants salary increases after being informed by the Mines Minister Obert Mpofu and Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation officials that $250-million of diamond sales had been transferred to treasury. But Finance Minister Tendai Biti vehemently denied this and called for an audit. Biti says $300 million from diamond sales cannot be accounted for.
