The team conducted investigations at town house between May 29 and June 4 this year after the Gweru United Residents Association (GURA) put forward a dossier chronicling allegations of corruption by councillors.
Gweru mayor, Teddius Chimombe, told The Zimbabwean that the amounts of money ordered by Chombo were too much for the council.
“The council is financially constrained at the moment. We are struggling to raise enough money to improve our service delivery and it’s a fact we cannot get the kind of money Chombo has mentioned, it’s too much,” Chimombe said.
He added that councillors were shocked by Chombo’s directive because when the probe team finished its work, each one of them was paid.
