*Kwekwe City Council Buys Councillors Expensive Phone Tablets* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?vo The Kwekwe City Town Council resolved to buy expensive phone tablets for its 14 councillors at a time when service delivery has fallen to deplorable levels. It was agreed at a full council meeting recently that the procurement department had promised councillors the phones before the end of July. ---------- Pindula is best experienced with the Android App. *Download APK here:* https://zero.pindula.co.zw/media/apps/apks/pindula23.apk _On Econet, Pindula does NOT use your data_ ---------- NewZimbabwe.com was told by its sources that each tablet would cost US$700 or its equivalent on the interbank market. Said the source: > The councillors are going to get tablets before month-end like indicated by the procurement department. > Each tablet was budgeted at US$700 before the outlawing of the multi-currency regime. > I think the tablets will be procured using the equivalent amount on the interbank market. Kwekwe mayor Councillor Angeline Kasipo confirmed the development and said that the move is a progressive one. She said: > Councillors are indeed going to receive tablets. The gadgets were budgeted for even though I am not privy to the procurement figures. > This is a progressive move considering that communication between councillors and management was a challenge. > Even when we wanted to have meetings, messages would be communicated by word of mouth which is very retrogressive. > The move is therefore progressive as it will make communication easier for the city fathers. The development has however irked Kwekwe residents. Kwekwe Residents and Rate Payers Development Association Secretary-General Alex Homela recently told reporters that the council has misplaced priorities and lacks imagination: > Instead of taking responsibility the council always burdens residents with tariff increases even though residents are already overwhelmed and are failing to service already existing debts. *More: NewZimbabwe.com* itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
