Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Harare mayor Jacob Mafume has said the government has stopped billing the Harare City Council under the Pomona waste-to-energy management deal.<\/p>\n

Under the controversial Pomona deal, the local authority was obligated to pay at least US$22 000 per day to the Netherlands-based company Geogenix BV for waste dumped at the site.<\/p>\n

The City of Harare was expected to pay more than US$344 million for the 30 years that the deal with Geogenix BV was supposed to run.<\/p>\n

If the local authority cancelled the deal, it was going to pay Geogenix BV US$3.5 million for breach of contract.<\/p>\n

But speaking to NewsDay on Monday, Mafume said the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development was now paying the bill. He said:<\/p>\n

We no longer think about the Pomona waste management deal. Government has stopped billing us.<\/p>\n

It is now Ncube\u2019s headache and we don\u2019t bother about it. I think they have surrendered it.<\/p>\n

It has been finalised and it is now Ncube\u2019s obligation after we indicated that we are not going to pay anything.<\/p>\n

Even if they decide to bill us today, we will just forward the bill to the Ministry of Finance.<\/p>\n
