By Own Correspondent| Women in Budiriro, Harare postponed preparations for the festive season, opting to undergo capacity enhancement on human right to water and budget processes.

The training, organised by the Community Water Alliance (CWA) saw more than 25 women, some who brought their babies along vowed that they will request a copy of the City of Harare budget estimates for 2019.

Reported the Community Water Alliance:

“The purpose of the request is to assess the contains of the budget before they can either endorse or reject it.

Women also raised concerns on Statutory Instrument 164 of 1913 which is used to arbitrarily disconnect water.

Community Water Alliance implores City of Harare to avail copies of the 2019 budget estimates to the public for inspection, in line with Section 282(2) of the Urban Councils Act.

CWA demand that Members of Parliament kickstart review of the Water Act and SI 164 of 1914 in line with Constitutional provisions on the human right to water.”
