Job cuts cripple service delivery

The Harare City Council rationalisation exercise, which saw 173 employees retired from its clinics has crippled service delivery at health centres.

According to the recent minutes of the Audit Committee, council directed audit manager Joseph Issa, to carry out an audit exercise on the rationalisation process to ascertain its impact and to see whether council had benefited from the exercise.

Acting town clerk Josephine Ncube reported that heads of departments were working with consultants in addressing its impact and coming with a working structure.
