AG told to advise his clients to respect the courts

Harare West MP Jessie Fungayi Majome has told the Attorney General's office to advise his clients to respect the courts, the legal processes and the constitution which dissolved the powers of the minister of local government as the stand off between Saviour Kasukuwere and the Harare City council over the suspension of mayor Bernard Manyenyeni stands.

"Where is the Attorney General of Zimbabwe when his client the government and its minister continually ride roughshod over not only the law but the Constitution itself?" asked majome.  "The A.G. must advise his client to respect the courts, the legal process and the Constitution which dissolved the powers that a local government minister used to have and gave them to the residents of municipalities through their elected councils."

She said the Minister can't suspend elected councils anymore! The High Court had said so over and over again.

"Please sign and share the online petition 'Hands off Harare!' on https://www.change.org/p/hands-off-harare-minister-of-local… to allow the city to prosper and defend the Constitution if the A.G. won't do it," she said.
