Youths Residential Stands Allocation Political?

Bulawayo youths are set to receive an allocation of 20,000 residential stands with government emphasizing that the Allocation will not be based on political affiliations.
The Minister of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing Saviour Kasukuwere told MPs during the National Assembly’s question and answer session on Wednesday that local authorities have been sitting on land instead of offering it to residents.
He was responding to questions by MPs who questioned the motive behind his ministry’s offering stands to youths.
Minister Kasukuwere said the government would no longer watch while local authorities commercialised land at the expense of suffering citizens.
He said it was disappointing that local councils have resorted to commercialising land instead of offering it to home seekers.
Minister Kasukuwere said the government cannot allow citizens to continue struggling at the mercy of local authorities.
The Minister lashed out at Bulawayo Mayor Councillor Martin Moyo for downplaying the importance of housing citing the city father’s recent comments that the 100,000 housing waiting list was not an issue.
