The Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation has pledged to continue subsidising civil service salaries but denied allegations it was refusing to work with the Ministry of Finance over the issue, reports said today. The Finance Ministry claimed that the ZMDC had by-passed it and paid US$40 million directly to the government’s paymaster, the Salary Service Bureau. “ZMDC operates through the Ministry of Mines (which) gave the Ministry of Finance money to pay the state workers through Treasury,” the ZMDC said. “The accountant-general in Minister Biti’s office, Judith Madzorera, who handles the funds, will (confirm) that the money, was not paid directly (to SSB) but it came through Treasury.”
