adminCouncillors demand meeting to discuss rotation
Chronicle Reporter
TEMPERS reportedly flared at a closed meeting after a full council meeting early this month with councillors demanding an emergency full council meeting to discuss a motion to rotate councillors from standing committees.
The controversial motion that has caused deep divisions among councillors was proposed by Ward 6 Councillor, Jennifer Bent.
It once sucked in senior MDC-T officials who later distanced themselves from the issue, saying it was not the party’s policy to meddle in council affairs.
The chairpersons of the standing committee, who meet to decide on motions that should be discussed during the full council meeting, turned it down several times before tempers exploded on 7 December.
The chairpersons are allegedly against the motion because the proposed rotation might result in them losing their influential posts.
By virtue of being chairpersons of standing council committees, they become members of the General Purposes (GP) Committee.
