GOKWE residents have petitioned Local Government minister July Moyo to institute investigations into allegations of corruption levelled against town council administrator Alexander Nyandoro.

Combined Gokwe Residents Association (CGRA) chairperson Nefas Mhangami said they want the Local Government ministry to investigate the circumstances that led to the lifting of Nyandoro’s suspension when the case against him was very clear.

“We, the CGRA, have endorsed a few annexures of how Nyandoro is behaving in the Gokwe Town Council.

Nyandoro is also accused of conniving with MDC Alliance councillor Darlington Mudondo to swindle the council of US$10 000 meant to buy a NP300 vehicle in 2011.

Mhangami said, as residents, they have lost trust in paying their money amid claims of corruption at council.
