GWERU City Council has appointed a five-member ad hoc
committee to probe the town clerk saga in which two people are being paid
salaries for the post.
Former town clerk Daniel Matau and incumbent Elizabeth
Gwatipedza are currently being paid for the same job due to a legal
technicality. The salary is understood to be $6 000, though council officials
refused to confirm the figures.
On Friday, an extraordinary council meeting was held at
Town House to deal with the matter after the new councillors, led by mayor
Josiah Makombe, expressed concern about the arrangement.
The committee comprises human resources committee
chairperson and former mayor Charles Chikozho, finance committee chairperson
Martin Chivhoko, councillor Trust Chineni, finance director Edgar Mwedzi and
human resources manager Jepson Nemusoso.
It will investigate the matter and report back within seven
days. Makombe confirmed the development.
“Yes, we have set up a committee of three councillors and
two managers. We intend to rope in a labour expert as well so that the matter
of two people being paid for one post is put to rest.
We will be guided by what the committee will report back to
us. Newsday
