Hunt for Francistown Investment Company CEO hits a blank

The FCC mid-last year advertised the post of CEO as it looked for someone who will be tasked with the coordination of ‘Vision 2022’ through the Francistown Investment Company (FIC). The  FIC is owned by the FCC. Late last year, the FCC said it was vetting applications to identify the CEO who was by then hoped would begin work in the first half of 2016.

“The exercise to employ the CEO has not been successful and there is need for re-advertisement of the post,” said city mayor Sylvia Muzila yesterday, when giving an update to an ordinary full council meeting. Muzila said those who had applied did not meet the required criteria for the position. FIC was registered nearly some two years back as Moiplek Investment before changing its name to the former last year.  The main job of the CEO would be to come up with strategies that could help revolutionise the economy of Francistown, which is the core of the much publicised ‘Vision 2022’.
