The Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA) says the ongoing demolitions in Harare and Chitungwiza are fueling corruption as they are not done in accordance with the law.
In a statement Thursday, CHRA called upon the government and local authorities to follow the law and desist from acting as both referee and player when effecting demolitions as this fuels corruption, maladministration and weakens accountability.
The government through local authorities and the police have been on a controversial drive to demolish illegal structures with the aim to bring back “sanity” in both cities.
