Petition
to ZINWA
April,
2007
Petition
to: Ministry of State Water Resources and Infrastructural Development,
Ministry of Local Government, Public Works and Urban Development
and the ZINWA Board and Management
We, the undersigned;
join residents and rate payers, residents' organizations,
ordinary citizens, in condemning ZINWA's takeover of water
distribution and administration and sewer reticulation in municipalities
across the country. Scores of Senators and Parliamentarians have
conceded that ZINWA has no capacity and is ill-prepared to run water
and sewer services in Zimbabwe's urban areas. We say no to
ZINWA's takeover of water provision and management from local
authorities. We demand that ZINWA must immediately return the management
of water and sewerage to municipalities. In terms of the Zimbabwe
National Water Authority Act [Chapter 20:25], ZINWA's mandate
is that of encouraging and assisting local authorities to discharge
their functions with regard to development and management of water
resources.
We urge all
municipalities, town and city councils and residents and rate payers
in Zimbabwe to totally reject ZINWA's extended mandate. We
call upon Central government to respect the wishes of the people
of Zimbabwe and immediately relieve ZINWA of its extended and illegal
mandate of the management of water and sewerage in municipalities.
