Harare City Council promises jail to residents who fail to pay their debts within 48 hour
Harare City Council has ordered residents to pay money owed to the local authority within the next 48 hours failing which property would be attached and imprisonment likely in cases where the grabbed assets do not clear the debt.
Council has now engaged WellCash Debt Collectors to pursue the defaulters, a letter sent to defaulters on Tuesday confirmed. Part of the letter reads:
Note that you shall pay the overdue amount plus summons cost as court fees and interest therefore as well as further legal costs incurred by engaging the Messenger of Court in pursuant of the debt.Civil imprisonment proceedings shall be taken against you if you do not have enough assets to clear your debt.
Feedback
However, Harare Residents Trust condemned the development saying the City of Harare has lost the moral legitimacy to demand payments from overburdened ratepayers especially after they refused to fully disclose the huge salaries and allowance that they are paying to their 72 employees in the higher grades 1-4, which constitute the senior council management.
