Harare City Council (HCC) spokesperson Michael Chideme told the Daily News yesterday that council will purchase iPads for councillors after they had given town clerk Hosiah Chisango up to October 31 to provide them with the gadgets.
Chideme said iPads will enable councillors to discharge their duties efficiently. Said Chideme:
Service delivery can only be guaranteed if we empower our councillors. iPads will assist them to keep up to date with council minutes, transact, conduct council business and better perform their supervisory role so that they diligently resolutions that that will guarantee world class service delivery which we are aiming to provide. In line with government’s thrust to have Harare as the national ICT hub, HCC is forging ahead with the ICT revolution through empowering its city fathers with modern technology. Like the old adage says charity begins at home — the city fathers have decided to lead the ICT revolution through e-governance.
