Harare City Council Suspends Architect For Failing To Draw Plans For First Street Renovation

Harare City Council has suspended a senior architect Philip Mucheri after he allegedly failed to draw plans for the proposed transformation of Harare’s First Street into a world class technology street.

Mucheri is alleged to have outsourced the job and council paid the architect who drew the plans for the multimillion-dollar project. In a suspension letter works director Engineer Zvenyika Chawatama said Mucheri had breached Section 4 (f) of the code, which deals with gross incompetence or inefficiency in the performance of one’s work. Part of the letter reads:

You are hereby advised of your suspension from employment with full salary and benefits with effect from November 20, 2018. Your suspension is meant to facilitate the process of determining whether or not disciplinary action should be preferred against you in line with Section 6(1) of Labour (National Employment Code of Conduct Regulations, Statutory Instrument 15 of 2006) and to facilitate the disciplinary hearing itself should the determination be that you face disciplinary action.
