THE MDC Alliance top hierarchy has nullified Marondera
mayor Chengetai Murowa’s suspension by some district party leaders saying it
was unconstitutional.
Murowa was last week suspended as MDC councillor by members
of the party’s Marondera Central constituency coordinating committee over his
alleged links to the Thokozani Khupe-led MDC-T.
The matter came to the fore after his telephone
conversation with MDC-T provincial administrator Wellington Makonese was
leaked.
In a statement yesterday, the MDC Alliance provincial
leadership said the suspension was null and void.
“We want to put it clear that the mayor of Marondera, his
worship Chengetai Murowa is not suspended as reported,” part of the statement
read.
“He is not suspended as councillor, mayor or party member.
The said suspension as reported is dubious, flimsy and void. Our party’s
construction is very clear on disciplinary procedures.
“Murowa is a member of the provincial executive and
national council and in this case, cannot be suspended by a lower structure
such as the constituency co-ordinating
committee.”
“All our councillors in Marondera subscribe to the
leadership of MDC-A, the party that sponsored them during the 2018 harmonised
elections.
“If there are any other issues of disharmony of some sort
the party leadership has got the capacity to unite our family for the good of
Marondera residents and rate payers.”
Marondera Central legislator Caston Matewu echoed the same
sentiments saying the suspension of Murowa by the lower structures was done
unprocedurally.
The MDC-Alliance has eleven councillors in Marondera
Central. Newsday
