As a follow up to the story of the arrest of Chitungwiza
town clerk, Mr. Geofrey Tanyanyiwa, I
have decided to analyse service delivery for the arguably fastest growing town
in Zimbabwe.
When one gets to Chitungwiza the first thing that welcomes
you is garbage. There are heaps of
improperly disposed litters. The question that arises is,‘what is the reason
for not collecting garbage?’
Whilst the officials are busy squandering money, residents
are living in unhealthy conditions. There had been outbreaks of different kinds
of diseases in this town. The focus had always been on the ways to cure the
diseases but not addressing the cause of the disease. Then we begin to wonder
whether people say things for granted for it is everyone’s song that
‘prevention is better than cure’.
So in other words the authorities are not concerned about
the well being of the public but themselves. It is now a call on the local
authority to change behavior and start doing their job properly.
There had been a poll in regard to this issue in The Herald
of March 2, 2012. People were supposed to vote ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ on whether
Chitungwiza city council had perfomed good over the years. It is up to to
judge. What is your take on this one? Pass your comments.
