Harare dithers on town clerk

HARARE City Council has missed the deadline it had set for recruitment of a town clerk, with the human resources committee blaming the mayor, Bernard Manyenyeni, for the delay.

Council, three weeks ago, indicated that it would have recruited a town clerk by last week as it races against time to hire the top municipal employer before the end of their term of office.

Council’s human resources and general purposes committee chairperson, Wellington Chikombo yesterday said the process had been stalled because the paperwork was stuck in Manyenyeni’s office.
