Minister of State for National Security
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Minister of State for National Security in the Office of the President and Cabinet is a non-cabinet ministerial position in the government of Zimbabwe. Notable ministers have included Didymus Mutasa, Nicholas Goche, and Emmerson Mnangagwa.[1] The minister oversaw the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO), although it has been argued that it is the CIO that controls the ministry since they say the Minister is a political appointee.
