President Mnangagwa accepted the final investigation report about Harare City Council problems on Tuesday at State House. Retired High Court judge Justice Maphios Cheda led the inquiry team that studied governance failures at the local government office. The commission spent months examining alleged violations of corporate rules and financial accountability measures. Officials looked into claims that city workers broke local government laws and procedures.
The inquiry team held public hearings during their investigation period. Current and former councillors testified before the commission about city operations. Past mayors and senior municipal staff also appeared to answer questions. Witnesses discussed claims about mismanaged public money and irregular buying practices. The commission documented how officials failed to follow proper operational procedures.
The report highlights individual wrongdoing and broader institutional problems affecting capital city services. President Mnangagwa will review the findings and recommendations from the investigation. The government may pursue administrative changes or legal action based on commission conclusions. Officials have not announced when they will release the report to the public. The findings could influence future policy decisions about local governance across the country.
