Corruption suspects barred from councils
Herald Reporter
Local authorities have been advised not to allow those under investigation for corruption-related cases involving land to come to work, as this allows them opportunities to cover their footprints, Secretary for Local Government and Public Works Mr Zvinechimwe Churu has said.
His remarks come as the MDC-led Harare and Chitungwiza councils have allegedly been trying to reinstate suspended top officials.
The Herald understands that Harare recently reinstated town clerk Engineer Hosiah Chisango and human capital director Mr Cainos Chingombe, while Chitungwiza housing director Ms Hazel Sithole, Engineer David Duma and housing manager Alex Mukweva, are alleged to be back at work as well.
