During his inauguration speech on Sunday, President Mnangagwa said his Government will not stand by and watch people suffer due to dereliction of duty by council officials.
Said Mnangagwa:
I, therefore, challenge local authorities in the Second Republic, to be the engines of local economic development and growth. My Government will not stand by and watch people suffer due to dereliction of duty, corruption or incompetence within our local authorities. My administration will, therefore, expect public sector officials to deliver quality and timely services to the people as well as facilitate business, trade and investment. Bureaucratic bottlenecks, unnecessary delays, lethargic and corrupt activities will not be tolerated.
