Govt crippling councils: Zimcodd

CENTRAL government is playing a major role in crippling councils in Zimbabwe through interference and inadequate resource allocations, the Zimbabwe Coalition on Debt and Development (Zimcodd) has said.

In its analysis of the Auditor-General’s report, Zimcodd commended the AG Office for its effective fiscal transparency.

It, however, added that the AG’s Office must be afforded maximum statutory independence, unlimited access to relevant information and be adequately resourced to fulfil audit functions and publicly report on the use of taxpayers’ money.
