Public financial transparency and accountability of government revenues and expenditures in Zimbabwe

-
Zimbabweans are familiar with budget statement presented by the Minister of Finance in the parliament every year but unfortunately the public has never received detailed financial statements after expenditure. Zimbabweans usually know the amount which is allocated to certain ministries such as health, education social welfare but the public has never received financial reports detailing how the money was used. The lack of financial reporting means that the public has no information to make the government accountable. Accountability has been viewed since time immemorial as a channel for ascertaining the use of power by an individual or an organization that has been entrusted with the task of performing prescribed tasks (Premchand 1999).  Kautilya wrote a manual on bureaucracy before the Christian age, he observed that human nature was disposed to acquire public money for private gain.

The recent introduction of a new currency by Zimbabwe’s central bank the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) result in a process called reverse dollarization. Baliño, Bennett, and Borensztein (1999) note that reversing dollarization may be difficult because changes in practices regarding the settlement of transactions may be a slow process that depends on institutional changes and takes place only when there are significant benefits to be gained by switching currencies. The process will not be easy as people’s preferred choice of holding and storing value remains United States dollars and not the surrogate currency. There are no significant benefits to be gained by switching from foreign currency to bond notes. Forced dedollarization has had limited success, while dollarization may have fallen in the short run and was sustained in some cases, countries that tried to force dedollarization experienced financial disintermediation and capital flight (Menkulasi, Erasmus, & Leichter, 2009)...
