Former Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) Commissioner-General Gershom Pasi, who resigned this week, will walk away scot free, as his resignation removes the right for Zimra to bring him to a hearing over the 40 charges of corruption and misconduct he was facing.

Legal experts noted yesterday that the Labour Act was clear on the relationship between the employer and the employee, and once one resigned, the employer losses the right to pursue discplinary action.

This means that justice might never be served on Mr Pasi’s 40 charges of corruption.

Mr Pasi resigned on Monday citing irretrievably broken down relations with his former employer, who last year suspended him over a slew of misconduct allegations and corruption.

Law experts said the Labour Act provided for the conduct between an employer and employee, and once a contract was terminated, the authority over the employee ends.

The 40 counts of misconduct and corruption Mr Pasi faced included vehicle importation scams and other charges dating back to 2009.
