Jane Mlambo| Government continues to spend money on unnecessary costs following the setting up of offices for the Commission of Inquiry looking into August 1 shootings at Cresta Lodge in Msasa.

According to a press release flighted by the commission soliciting for information from the people, submissions were directed to office number 136 Cresta Lodge, Samora Machel Avenue in Harare.

This is against a background that the commission will operate for three months which could result in a huge bill considering that hotel rates are higher than ordinary offices.

The setting up of offices at Cresta Lodge also raises questions on government priorities at a time the chorus has been to cut unnecessary expenditures as a measure to boost economic confidence.

In 2016, there was so much noise over Former Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko’s continued stay at Rainbow Towers after his appointment.w

Mphoko gobbled in excess of $620 000 in hotel bill during more than a year stay at Rainbow Towers.
