Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Mwinilunga Town council chairperson Jonathan Chinyimba Atlas Mara Bank\u2019s delay in processing the account opening is affecting the disbursement of the Constituency Development Funds ( CDF ) and implementation of projects in the area.<\/p>\n

Mr. Chinyimba says it is challenging for his local authority to process the CDF related projects and payment as Atlas Mara bank , the only bank in the area is delaying to release account numbers of the applicants as required by the CDF guidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is difficult for the local authority to process the cheques without the beneficiaries having bank accounts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Chinyimba said in an interview on Thursday, that government is in a hurry to empower it\u2019s citizens and deliver development in a timely manner saying any delays in this regard will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n

\u201c I therefore advise other banking institutions to consider setting up branches in Mwinilunga so that the challenges arising from dependence on a single bank in the area can be addressed, \u201c he said..<\/p>\n

Atlas Mara Mwinilunga branch manager Fackson Khwabe, when contacted for comment , clarified that the bank is opening accounts for all applicants only that priority has been given to groups and cooperatives whose projects have already been approved for funding.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bank is opening all accounts but with priority given to applicants whose projects have been approved for funding,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Khwabe said the bank has so far opened 126 accounts and using the approved list for funding from the local authority, more accounts are expected to be opened by end of this week.<\/p>\n
