Local Government, Public Works and National Housing Minister July Moyo has appointed commissions to run local authorities in Mashonaland West until the swearing in of the recently-elected new councillors.
The councillors would be sworn-in after the President’s inauguration.
The appointments were announced through a circular sent to each council dated July 27, 2018, referenced appointment of commissions, which will preside over rural district councils, local boards, town councils, municipalities and cities in Mashonaland West Province.
“According to Section 143 of the Constitution as read with Section 158 of the Rural Districts Councils Act (Chapter 29:13) and Section 80 of the Urban Councils Act (Chapter 29:15) provides that local authorities will be presided over by commissions prior to the swearing in of new councillors, reads the circular. “Commissioners to preside over local authorities on an interim basis, until the new Council is sworn in to strictly adhere to existing statutes in all council activities and operations, avoid making far reaching decisions on behalf of local authorities without consulting the Ministry.
“Commission shall not engage in land or stands allocations, not enter into agreements involving joint ventures, not employ new staff, not deal with tenders and not engage in acquisition and or disposal of council property.
“I am of the belief that the appointments will ease local authorities’ migration of the new council into the next five year term.”
