Kwekwe resist town clerk’s bid to take house

KWEKWE town clerk, Emmanuel Musara’s bid to award himself his official house ahead of retirement has been temporarily put on hold after councillors resisted the move.

During a full council meeting this week, Musara gave notice that he was entitled to take over his official residence in line with a government circular of 1994.

“As a follow-up to the initial circular 75 of 1994, the honourable Local Government minister directed that all local authorities should facilitate issuance of title deeds to genuine and deserving tenants, who have rented council accommodation for a period of more than 20 years.
