Byo ratepayers urged to participate in consultative meetings

THE MDC Alliance and Bulawayo Progressive Residents Association have challenged ratepayers to take part in consultative meetings for the local authority’s 2019 budget that will run next week for their input to be captured.

“We urge Bulawayo residents and all key stakeholders to be proactive by attending these crucial consultative meetings for meaningful engagement. It goes without saying that in view of recent outbreaks of waterborne diseases and water shortages, one of the top budget priorities during this outreach should be on investing in water and sewerage infrastructure,” said Oscar Ncube, a senior MDC Alliance official.
