The Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators
of Zimbabwe (Icasz) is under the spotlight after a former lecturer, Last
Mapuranga, quit his job alleging exam fraud and poor corporate governance at
the institution.
In his resignation letter seen by NewsDay Business,
Mapuranga, who also chaired the steering committee, raises concern over how
undeserving candidates who had failed exams were awarded marks through the back
door.
He also claims that Icsaz was contracting under qualified
lecturers, thereby compromising quality.
“Chief executive, Sir, I recall I have engaged you more
than twice about the structure of the programme to no avail. I think the
programme was structured to enrich the pockets of some people and not for the
benefit of the candidates” Mapuranga said in the letter dated June 3.
The allegations have not sat well with Icsaz which through
its lawyers Dube, Manikai and Hwacha has since written to Mapuranga alleging
defamation.
Icsaz is demanding that Mapuranga retracts his statement
and issues a public apology.
In response, Mapuranga has maintained his position,
insisting that he has evidence of irregularities in the Icsaz exam system.
