Local Government, Public Works and National Housing Minister July Moyo has authorised councils to control the movement of kombis in their areas of jurisdiction and to enforce traffic regulations.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Moyo said this followed the lifting of a ban on commuter omnibus operations after the repeal of section 4(2)(a) of Statutory Instrument (SI) 83 of 202 Public Health (National Lockdown) that was enacted as a COVID-19 preventive measure. He said:
<blockquote>
All local authorities are to recommend route authority and issue rank discs for applicants operating on urban routes in their areas of jurisdiction and enforce traffic regulations and by-laws with the support of law enforcement agents.
This includes removal of touts, picking and dropping points off passengers at undesignated points and addressing challenges of obstruction of traffic.
Omnibus operators are advised to approach their respective authorities for the processing of their applications with immediate effect.
Local authorities, residents’ associations and transport operators welcomed the development.
</blockquote>
Greater Harare Association of Commuter Omnibus Operators secretary-general Ngoni Katsvairo told <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200007880/councils-now-empowered-to-control-kombis">NewsDay</a> that the move will eliminate touts. He said:
<blockquote>
No touts will control ranks after our membership obtain discs. There won’t be interference from touts anymore.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe Union of Drivers and Conductors president Frederick Maguramhinga said:
<blockquote>
We can’t have a scenario where every kombi goes wherever the driver wants.
We are going to have inspectors that will work with the council.
</blockquote>
Passengers Association of Zimbabwe spokesperson Andrew Chibanda said:
<blockquote>
The issue of touts is a thorn in the flesh as they claim to own ranks and control how the commuting public should be charged in relation to prevailing situations.

Local Authorities Empowered To Control Kombis

The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) has condemned local authorities for shoddy work on some road rehabilitation projects that are undertaken using funds disbursed by ZINARA.
In a statement, ZINARA also chided local authorities for overcommitting or signing contracts that are way above the resources allocated. ZINARA said:
<blockquote>
Another area of concern noted by ZINARA in 2022 was the low quality of work by some local authorities.
There is a need for local authorities contractors to ensure sustainable quality work because the resources that ZINARA has are limited compared to the work that needs to be done on our roads.
Analysis of the 2022 disbursement statistical data, ZINARA noted that some local authorities overcommitted and entered contracts that were way above their allocations.
Going forward, ZINARA urges the local authorities to budget within their allocations and ensure timely acquittals of disbursed funds.
This is prudentially important in terms of value preservation of their allocated funds.
</blockquote>
ZINARA has unveiled ZWL$93 billion towards road rehabilitation and maintenance this year while over ZWL$30 billion was disbursed to local authorities last year.
According to the latest funding disbursement report issued by ZINARA on Sunday, 22 January 2023, Harare Metropolitan Province received the highest funding of $1.73 billion in 2022.
Matabeleland region, which includes Bulawayo and sister provinces of Matabeleland North and South, got a combined total of $1.24 billion.
Matabeleland North Province received $422.9 million, with Victoria Falls receiving the highest amount of $120.8 million for road rehabilitation and maintenance under the urban councils’ category in the province.
Umguza Rural District Council got the lion’s share among rural local authorities in Mat’ North Province. It received $70.9 million. | <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/zinara-blasts-councils-over-shoddy-jobs/">Chronicle</a>

ZINARA Condemns Local Authorities Over Poor Workmanship On Road Projects

The Ministry of Local Government and Public Works has approved ninety-two budgets for 2023 presented by local authorities, with four being rejected for various reasons.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, 10 January, Local Government and Public Works Minister July Moyo said the process of budget analysis and consequently approval was conducted from 3 to 10 January this year.
Budgets that were not approved were for Murewa Rural District Council, Karoi Town Council, Binga RDC and Lupane Town Board.
Moyo said Murewa RDC officials will now have to meet Local Government Permanent Secretary Zvinechimwe Churu, to relook into their budget.
A team has also been sent to Karoi Town Council to assist in the proper crafting and adoption of the budget by the council.
Binga RDC and Lupane Town Board have been asked to explain their budgets, which do not seem “achievable because of the level of tariffs”. Said Moyo:
<blockquote>
All budget tariffs have been captured in both US$ and ZWL to allow councils to track the exchange rate movement in line with S1 185 of 2020 over the whole year. 
Most councils proposed standstill budgets except for a few that have made increases. 
Some of the increases were occasioned by a relook of the council’s revenue sources, which have expanded because of following the Rural District Councils Act, Urban Councils Act, or their by-laws.
</blockquote>
Moyo added that all councils had been directed to produce by-laws by 31 January in order to support their budgets. | <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/council-budgets-approved/">The Herald</a>

Ninety-two Council Budgets Approved

Some local authorities are reportedly still charging services in foreign currency in defiance of a Government directive to charge all services in local currency.
The local authorities say they haven’t received the order from the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works to charge all services in Zimbabwe dollars.
Local Government Permanent Secretary, Zvinechimwe Churu, told <a href="https://www.businessweekly.co.zw/local-authorities-defy-treasury-directive-they-continue-charging-in-forex/">Business Weekly</a> that the Government was aware of resistance by some local authorities.
He said they will soon write letters directing local authorities to comply with the directive recently issued by Finance and Economic Development Ministry. Said Churu:
<blockquote>
But this will be a redundant directive because the circular (Treasury) is clear and the law is clear.
Asking the ministry to issue a circular is asking for too much supervision… it’s unnecessary but we are writing (to) them.
</blockquote>
Last week, Treasury directed all Government departments, agencies and local authorities that all their services should be charged in Zimbabwe dollars.
The Treasury can, however, grant exemptions.

Local Authorities Defy Treasury Directive On Forex Charges

Treasury has directed Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as well as local authorities to stop charging for goods and services in foreign currency.
In a letter to all MDAs and local authorities, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development George Guvamatanga said charging for goods and services in foreign currency is illegal. He said:
<blockquote>
Any collection of fees and levies for services rendered in foreign currency by Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies, as well as local authorities is illegal and should be in local currency at the prevailing interbank rate unless granted exceptional written approval by Treasury.
… Section 78(1) of the Public Finance Management Act (CAP 22:19), empowers Treasury to prescribe or issue instructions or directions to ministries, whether individually or collectively, concerning the determination of any sales or fees, other charges or rates relating to revenue accruing to the Consolidate Revenue Fund.
</blockquote>
The directive came as some Government agencies, as well as local authorities, have been demanding payment for some services exclusively in foreign currency.<a href="https://www.businessweekly.co.zw/treasury-warns-ministries-and-councils-on-illegal-forex-pricing/">eBusiness Weekly</a>

Treasury Orders Ministries And Councils To Stop Charging For Services In Forex

The Zimbabwe National Organisation Of Associations Of Residents Trust (ZNOART) has criticised the ongoing rebasing of budgets being undertaken by local authorities in Mashonaland West Province and described the move as “hurried budget tampering”.
In a letter dated 29 July 2022, and addressed to The Town Clerk, Chinhoyi Municipality, ZNOART Mash West Chairperson Liberty Chitiya said a budget is an agreed plan for 12 months or a financial year and therefore, the local authority cannot tamper with willy-nilly without residents’ input.
Chitiya argued that residents stand to lose if local authorities went ahead with rebasing budgets. He said:
<blockquote>
Rebasing is not in sync with central Government SI 118A of 2022 therefore Local Government cannot dollarize the local budget. In the process measures taken must reflect the National Budget thresholds and principles.
While the USD is a legal tender in Zimbabwe, let us remember a BUDGET is a legally binding instrument that is not optional when it is approved.
“USD ONLY” principal principle is anti- developmental in that residents will fail, for instance, to pay the USD building inspection fees thereby failing to develop stands.
The negative impact of such a move is that some residents will have their stands repossessed for failure to develop their stands as mandated in their contracts with council.
</blockquote>
Chitiya said councils must first engage residents and get their approval and input in principle when intending to review an approved budget.
He warned that ZNOART is not going to support “rebasing” without Ministerial approvals according to the Urban Councils Act or Rural Councils Act.

ZNOART Condemns "Rebasing" Of Budgets By Councils

MDC president Nelson Chamisa has defended urban councils over their failure to deliver basic services to residents, blaming the central government instead.
Urban councils, of which almost all of them are dominated by the MDC, have increasingly come under fire from residents for failing to provide water, refuse collection and proper sewer reticulation.
Chamisa said that the central government is failing to provide councils with foreign currency needed to buy water for treatment chemicals, making it difficult for them to fulfil their mandate. Said Chamisa:
<blockquote>All councils are struggling because of the state of the central government. The river cannot flow when there are no rains.
You can’t expect councils to provide adequate clean water when the central government is failing to provide foreign currency for water treatment chemicals when people have no jobs and can’t pay for service delivery.
It is, therefore, important for the MDC to lead the central government and restore dignity to the worker and the image of the country.</blockquote>
Chamisa castigated the government for from stealing from the poor to pay the rich. He said the introduction of bond notes and the 2% tax is a mechanism to steal from the poor.
