High court blasts Chombo
NewsDay Staff ·
The High Court has ordered the reinstatement of four Harare MDC-T councillors fired by Local Government minister Ignatius Chombo last year for alleged corruption.
Justice Bharat Patel ruled the decision by the probe team, assembled by Chombo to investigate the councillors, was based on a “grossly irrational” judgment.
The councillors, Sulas Machetu, Paul Gorekore, Maxwell Katsande and Johnson Zaranyika, were fired in December 2010 for allegedly evicting council tenants from their houses fraudulently.
