2006
budget in force
Combined Harare
Residents Association (CHRA)
March 05, 2006
Since yesterday
I have received bitter complaints from residents who feel we should
take action against the City of Harare for its arrogance and insensitivity
to the plight of the poor residents.
There
is an outcry over the rates bills that have been released by this
illegal commission. They want you to pay.
They are particularly incensed by the latest rates bills, which
indicate a hike beyond their expectations.
As we
have maintained, the 2006 budget (which we herein attach) was implemented
without following the proper procedures according to the Urban Councils'
Act. Residents raised their objections between 9 December 2005 and
January 9 2006, which they hoped to be considered before the budget
was implemented.
The City of Harare has ignored those objections and has now implemented
the 2006 budget.
The power
lies in your hands. We ask you today, to make a decision, a decision
that will set you free. Can you please respond to this call by CHRA
to guide its action in the next few days? We want to know what you
think CHRA should do in respect of the city's arrogance and insensitivity
on the 2006 budget.
The rates would
be further increased in three months.
But in the meantime, can you please contact the following City officials
for explanation on why they ignored residents' objections on the
2006 budget.
Nomutsa Chideya, town clerk--011 860 730, 04-753333 or email tcd@africaonline.co.zw
Cosmas Zvikaramba, acting city treasurer---011 860 738, 04-753000,
04-752979
Tendai Savanhu, deputy chairperson Harare commission---011 860 732
Sekesai Makwavarara, chairperson Harare Commission---011 860 749
These officials are equally responsible for the state of Harare
and together we should ask them why they are doing what they are
doing against the will of Harare residents.
Let us unite and move with the same pace and zeal as we find ways
of freeing ourselves from this illegal bondage.
