By Own Correspondent|Chairperson of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Environment and Tourism has revealed plans to summon the Minister of Environment Prisca Mupfumira over the continued destruction of wetlands in Harare.

Committee’s chairperson Concillia Chinanzvavana said that the Minister has to answer questions on development projects being done in the city that have negatively impacted water availability.

Said Chinanzvavana:

The minister of Environment should come to Parliament and provide evidence over the rampant destruction of wetlands we are seeing in many parts of Harare.

We have noticed that areas such as Borrowdale, Glen Lorne and Eastlea have developments on areas that are protected at law.
