Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Information and Media Minister Chushi Kasanda has directed Chisamba Town Council not to pay contractors constructing infrastructure under the Constituency Development Fund -CDF- if the works do not meet the required standard.<\/p>\n

Ms. Kasanda who is also Chisamba Constituency Member of Parliament has expressed disappointment at the quality of most infrastructure constructed in her constituency under CDF.<\/p>\n

ZANIS reports that the minister said government is spending a lot of money on infrastructure that does not meet the required standard. She said there is need for contractors to deliver projects to the government that have value for money.<\/p>\n

Ms. Kasanda was speaking when she inspected a one by three classroom block at Lukoshi Secondary School. She urged the local Authority to closely monitor the projects instead of waiting until at the end of it.<\/p>\n
