Byo Mayor Accused Of Poor Management
Published: 2016 April 02 06:56:05 (4950 Views)
Bulawayo Residents who attended a council stakeholder meeting booed the City Mayor, Martin Moyo, accusing his administration of poor management of the city.
Residents denigrate Moyo before Acting President Phelekezela Mphoko, Cabinet Ministers, MPs and business executives who attended the meeting at the Large City Hall.
A resident, who identified himself as a vendor, accused councillors of parcelling in-fill stands to their cronies, which he said was causing disorder in the city.
He accused council of failing to provide stands for scores of homeless residents.
Another resident accused Moyo and his team of failing to provide adequate refuse collection services and made reference to Makokoba, which has since been declared the dirtiest suburb in the city by the Environmental Management Agency.
He was joined by Dennis Ndlovu, a former mayor, who queried the acquisition of a piece of land at Ascot race course by the deputy mayor Gift Banda (MDC), which he said was unprocedural.
He also questioned the awarding of a tender for the proposed $60 million Egodini terminus upgrading to a South African firm, Terracotta.
Some people alleged councillors were already promising jobs at the Egodini project to their supporters.
The mayor tried to explain how the land was allocated to Banda but the crowd kept interjecting.
Bulawayo Provincial Minister of State Nomthandazo Eunice Moyo piled the pressure on council as she also accused it of lack of transparency.
