Harare City Council To Be Presented Live

Harare City Council will present its budget live on television on Monday next week.

Harare Mayor Herbert Gomba said the city was going to present a programme-based budget where money would be distributed according to specific programmes. Said Gomba:

We want to be able to proceed and finish road reconstruction and resealing that we started. Therefore, some money will be set aside for that. The budget will also look at expanding council schools. We want to be able to construct one in Kuwadzana and another one in Harare South. The budget will also look at constructing one or two more clinics. As you know, we are constructing one in Glen Norah. We are also looking at extending libraries. The budget will also look at water purification.

Harare Residents Trust director Mr Precious Shumba urged council to reduce rates by 30 percent across the board.
