FORMER National Social Security Authority (Nssa) general
manager Elizabeth Chitiga has been dragged to court after failing to settle a
$200 000 housing loan advanced to her during her tenure.
Nssa is seeking a summary judgment for Chitiga to be
ordered to pay $201 581,73 with five percent interest calculated to August 27
last year to date of final payment in an application filed at the High Court.
According to an affidavit deposed by Nssa acting corporate
secretary Takudzwa Takawira, Chitiga was entitled to apply for a housing loan
under her employment contract terms.
The court heard that Chitiga applied for a housing loan on
February 9, 2017 and received $415 130,80. Chitiga would repay the loan through
monthly instalments of $1 753,77, but on April 6, 2018 her employment contract
was terminated and she instituted proceedings to challenge the decision in the
High Court.
The application was subsequently dismissed on June 5, 2018
and to date Chitiga has paid $77 050 and another lump sum repayment received
from her terminal benefits amounting to $184 006,06 after deduction of tax by
the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority.
