President Emmerson Mnangagwa criticized local government leaders for poor work performance during a meeting Thursday. The president spoke to more than 2,000 council members at the Councils Indaba in Bulawayo. He said reports about bad service and failure to do jobs properly alarm him. The president told council workers they must serve Zimbabwe citizens better. Areas needing improvement include housing, waste removal, roads and street lights.
Mnangagwa stressed that councils need better money management systems to work properly. He said budgets help organize and control resources for local governments. The president explained that money supports good ideas but cannot create them. Council leaders must focus on important areas when spending public funds. Proper financial planning helps councils complete their duties to communities.
The president also asked local authorities to take better care of their workers. He said employee welfare should be a priority for all council leaders. Good treatment of staff helps improve overall service delivery to residents. Council executives need to support their teams to achieve better results. Happy workers provide better services to the public.
Mnangagwa reminded all government officials about their duty to serve Zimbabwe. He told the audience that everyone must work together without divisions. The president said all citizens share responsibility for helping the country succeed. Unity among leaders creates better outcomes for all Zimbabweans. Service to the nation requires cooperation from every person in important positions.
