> I’m happy to note that we negotiated with Government as local authority councillors and are now getting half of sitting allowances which Members of Parliament get. This is in the spirit of the devolution agenda and we are very grateful to the Government for the gesture.

The government has embarked on devolution, which is as a key component of the new Constitution of Zimbabwe in 2013.

Provincial governments are mandated to spearhead economic and social development projects in their areas.
