Sources at HCC yesterday told NewsDay that Marara has notbeen performing any duties at Town House for some time now.
“We don’t know where Marara is reporting to these days,what his role is at council at the moment and he has not been reporting forwork of late. You can only meet him at funny events,” the sources said. “There are moves to remove him from the payroll and thehuman resources office has already been advised on the role of Marara but hasbeen reluctant to effect the decision and this might see heads roll at HarareCity Council.
