Govt ‘stuck’ with council graft report

Government is yet to release findings of a commission appointed to probe Marondera Municipality following allegations of massive corruption and abuse of office by councillors and management.

Early this year, the Local Government ministry appointed a team to investigate corruption allegations at the MDC Alliance-led council and is still to present its findings, raising the ire of residents.

Local Government deputy minister Marian Chombo, who was overseeing the process, was not picking calls yesterday and did not respond to questions sent to her on WhatsApp.
