Other projects included the purchase of a generator and freezer at Warren Park Polyclinic. Bringing his total expenditure on the project nearly $51,000.
Other MP's are yet to respond to the residents.
Residents say they are unhappy with the lack of transparency of funds, and the lack of community involvement. Among their grievances are issues of basic commodities including power and water.
Coordinator Precious Shumba of the Harare Residents Trust says residents want their representative to properly deal with the underdevelopment within their communities, involving them in the process.
