CITY BUDGET PUBLIC MEETINGS
CHRA will be holding public meetings to educate and inform residents on the 2007 City Budget formulation process. The City of Harare was supposed to make submissions of the budget to the Minister of Local Government on 31 October 2006 but residents were not consulted during the formulation of the budget. This is a requirement under the Urban Councils Act (Chapter 29:15) Section 219 (3) (b).
These public meetings will inform residents on the illegitimacy of the budget formulation process and they will be urged to object to a budget that is not people driven. CHRA’s position is clear. We are not in agreement with the budget because it does not have the input of the major stakeholders, the residents.
The public meetings that are geared to raise awareness on the 2007 budget have been scheduled as follows;

Kuwadzana Ext : 11/11/06 10-12pm Kuwadzana Extension Sub-Office
Kambuzuma: 12/11/06 2-4pm Kambuzuma Community Hall
Kuwadzana: 17/11/06 2-4pm Kuwadzana 2 Community Centre
Hatcliffe: 18/11/06 2-5pm Hatcliffe Community Hall
Highfield: 25/11/06 2-5pm Zororo Community Centre
Budiriro: 26/11/06 2-5pm Budiriro Community Hall
Glen Norah: 26/11/06 1-4pm Glen Norah A’ Community Hall
Rugare: 28/11/06 1-4pm Rugare Hall
Residents are urged to mobilize each other and attend these meetings in thousands. They can also visit Daventry House Room 103 for more information. Police have been notified of these public meetings.
