Biti's PDP calls for probe into the City of Bulawayo's questionable dealings

The Tendai Biti led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged  government to speedily appoint an independent board to probe Bulawayo City Council.

The party said the MDC-T led council is a 'disgrace'.

This came out of a provincial council meeting on Wednesday.

"On Bulawayo City Council, the province  distanced itself from Bulawayo province and described them as a disgrace to the democratic movements," said deputy provincial spokesperson Fortune Mlalazi.

"Therefore we recommended  that the ministry  of Local government to appoint an independent board that will look into the eGodini  project and deal with any issues that may rise after the investigation'.

He said the provincial council emphasized on the importance of the project as a sole hope for youths in the city.

PDP appeal comes hours after MDC-T declared that there is no corruption in the council.

Government recently ordered a probe into the multi million dollar eGodini project.

Government recently dispatched a probe team to investigate a string of questionable land deals.

A report is due in coming weeks.
