Chinhoyi Town Clerk, Maxwell Kaitano, has been suspended for failing to execute his duties, H-Metro, can reveal.
However, the issue appears to be a tough one to handle for Council with some saying there was a procedural flaw since the mayor, Owen Chauruza, did not attend the meeting.
Kaitano, who is a lawyer by profession, was relieved of his duties during a full Council extraordinary meeting that was held last week in Council chambers.
The meeting, which suspended the Town Clerk, was chaired by the Deputy Mayor, Councillor Chipo Mhlotshwa.
Ironically, Kaitano and the Mayor, Owen Charuza, were in Harare attending to the performance-based signing contracts.
Council Spokesperson, Tichaona Mlauzi, told H- Metro he did not attend the meeting that suspended the Town Clerk.
“The Mayor and Town Clerk were in Harare where they were signing their performance-based contracts with President ED Mnangagwa, so I don’t have any comment at the moment.
