Govt should decentralise services: Councillor

GOVERNMENT should reconsider its decision to nationalise electricity generation and vehicle licensing which has resulted in poor service delivery in rural and urban councils, a councillor has said.

Bulawayo ward 25 councillor Aleck Ndlovu told NewsDay, that councils’ licensing departments had been rendered useless by the decision.
For example, Ndlovu said, the Bulawayo City Council licensing department could have been generating funds for the local authority with the revenue sourced through the system going to projects such as road maintenance.
