President
Robert Mugabe has invoked his presidential powers to save Chitungwiza Town
Council’s attached property from auction.
The development
was announced in an extra-ordinary government gazette today. Meanwhile the
Minister of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing, Cde Saviour
Kasukuwere has suspended Chitungwiza Town Clerk, Mr George Makunde over
allegations of maladministration which saw the council’s property being
attached over a $66 million debt.
Minister
Kasukuwere said Makunde will appear before a disciplinary committee to answer
allegations of maladministration.
Makunde’s
suspension follows that of all councillors over disregard of corporate
governance which has seen the local authority swimming in huge debts.
In a bid to
save the council from total collapse, a caretaker council led by Mr Pawadyira
Madzudzo is currently running the affairs at the council until a lasting
solution is in place.
