Harare Residents Trust has questioned how the Kuwadzana library levy was used as it appears it was not clear how the money was used.
"What has really happened with the opening of the Kuwadzana Library leaves a lot to be desired. The local Member of Parliament contributed some funds, but for nearly a decade now, the library remains unfinished," said the trust.
"Is the City of Harare playing politics with this important project which advances the right to education of citizens as enshrined in our Constitution? We had hoped that Honourable Nelson Chamisa would have used his share of the Constituency Development Fund when he was also a Cabinet Minister to finish off this library."
The trust said each MP was given US$50 000 to do community development in their respective constituencies.
"We are placing the blame on the Ministry of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing, the City of Harare, Honourable Nelson Chamisa, and the residents of Kuwadzana in that order respectively. Each must be demanding that the library be finished. Why is it not finished by now Mayor Bernard Manyenyeni?" said the trust.
