Cabinet blames fuel availability for congestion

CABINET yesterday agreed to set up an inter-ministerial team to deal with congestion on the country’s roads that has become a menace especially in urban areas.

This was announced by Information minister Monica Mutsvangwa during a post-Cabinet media briefing in Harare, where she said the inter-ministerial team would be led by Local Government minister July Moyo and would look at ways of decongesting the roads.

Congestion has become a menace in the cities, mainly in Harare, where the government, through the Zimbabwe National Road Administration, has been accused of failing to develop the road network due to corruption.
