Harare City Council set to lose more than $30 000 paying tribunal appointed without following procedure

The Herald reports that Harare City Council is set to lose more than $30 000 paying a tribunal that is investigating alleged defiance by city executives to cut salaries as ordered by Government.

The publication also reports that the findings of the tribunal may be null and void as the local governing authority flouted procedures of the Urban Councils Act when it appointed the tribunal chaired by retired High Court judge Justice George Smith. According to Section 100 of the Urban Councils Act, a councillor was supposed to chair the tribunal whose other members should also include councillors. The section reads:

100(1) A special committee may at any time be appointed — (a) by the executive committee; or (b) by a council: subject to the following provisions — (i) that committee shall be appointed for a specific task and once that committee has submitted a report thereon it shall be dissolved unless reconstituted by the executive committee or council for further investigation or consideration in connection with the original task; (ii) that committee shall be composed of councillors or councillors and persons, who are not councillors and any such member of that special committee shall be entitled to exercise a vote; (iii) the chairman of that committee shall be a councillor.
