Council will maintain its oversight role during land sales to ensure that correct prices and procedures are adhered to.
Council will maintain its oversight role during land sales to ensure that correct prices and procedures are adhered to.
Chair of the Finance and Development Committee Councillor Tichaona Mhetu reiterated the stance recently.
Cllr Mhetu was speaking after a tour of several properties whose reports are to appear before his committee.
He said councillors will no longer sit in the comfort of their offices but will make physical visits to sites before passing resolutions.
"We do not believe in armchair administration where we just sit and preside over issues without getting to the site.”
He said days of blind land sales were over adding that councillors will not rubber stamp sales of land they have never set eyes on.
