Acting Town Clerk Eng Phakamile Moyo is confident the city will deliver its targets and provide decent services to Harare residents.
Eng Moyo was speaking at the signing ceremony for Performance Contracts for Heads of Departments.
“When I signed for my Performance Contract on the 10th of February 2022, before the Mayor, I was confident that my lieutenants will deliver. This has been the case because I perform through the Heads of Departments,” he said.
“So today they are here to commit to the achievement of the agreed targets. Your Worship, we set these targets, agreed upon them and we further shared these targets with Councillors last weekend. So the targets that are being signed for today took into account the input from the policy makers.”
He said the policy makers are the elected representatives of the residents of Harare and he believes that when they were contributing, their aim is to ensure that Council provides the services that are demanded by the citizens.
He said the city’s mandate as a local authority is to provide services and charge tarrifs or taxes for that as stipulated in our Urban Councils Act Chapter (29:15).
“For us to be able to evaluate whether we are performing our mandate fully, we must have targets and be able to monitor and evaluate performance. The first step towards accountability for results is the signing of the contracts.,” he said.
“ As your Town Clerk, I am fully aware that issues of performance are not the characteristics of us and has never been part of our menu, but let me assure you that, this administration is ready to transform and embrace the new performance culture. Residents of Harare, the Government of Zimbabwe and all our key stakeholders expect us as the Capital.
Eng. P. Moyo
