It was agreed at a full council meeting recently that the procurement department had promised councillors the phones before the end of July. ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

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* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
