Councillors, Biti clash over Govt debt
Prosper Ndlovu
BULAWAYO councillors are headed for a collision course with Finance Minister Tendai Biti over Government’s failure to pay more than $5 million it owes the local authority.
The city fathers have threatened to confront Minister Biti seeking an explanation over the issue.
According to the council’s latest report, the councillors, a majority of them from MDC-T party whose secretary-general is Minister Biti, expressed concern over Government’s ballooning debt to council, saying the move was crippling service delivery.
This comes at a time when council is already in debt of up to $70 million it owes different service providers. The council is owed $87 million in rates and service charges.
Deputy Mayor Councillor Amen Mpofu has called for a meeting between council and Minister Biti.
He said Minister Biti should clarify the issue of payment of Government debts and make arrangements that would benefit council.
The Town Clerk, Mr Middleton Nyoni, said council was planning to send a delegation to meet Minister Biti in Harare over the issue.
In the report the director of financial services, Mr Kempton Ndimande, said the Government’s debt increased from about $5,4 million in early September last year to about $5,7 million at the end of the same month.How Zimra works
