Harare suspends Pomona deal

BY TAFADZWA KACHIKO
A TENSE Harare City Council (HCC) special council meeting yesterday resolved to suspend the controversial Pomoma waste management deal despite spirited resistance from MDC Alliance councillors.

Councillors from the Douglas Mwonzora-led MDC Alliance were recently exposed as having approved the 30-year waste management agreement between council and the Netherlands-based Geogenix BV which would see the company pocket over US$240 million at US$22 000 a day.

Yesterday, Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) councillor Jason Kautsa moved a motion for the deal to be suspended, and was supported by colleagues who included Denford Ngadziore.
