Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Mushindamo District Council Director of works, Ricky Siamatu has disclosed that the district has a deficit of nine thousand school desks out of the eleven thousand that were allocated for procurement under the 2023 Constituency Development Fund (CDF).<\/p>\n

Responding to North-Western Province Permanent Secretary , Grandson Katambi who wanted to know the progress in desks procurement, Mr Siamatu said the CDF committee only managed to get two thousand this far.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CDF committee has only bought about 2000 desks for 2023, we have about a nine thousand deficit according to the statistics from DEBS,\u201d Mr Siamata said.<\/p>\n

The situation has displeased the Permanent Secretary, Col. Katambi who told them to learn from their colleagues who have strategized to ensure that no child sits on the floor by December 2023.<\/p>\n

Col. Katambi (Rtd) said presidential directives should be treated with the importance they deserve and not just as mere pronouncement.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us differentiate between Presidential directives and our own programmes, school desks come under Presidential directive,\u201d Col. Katambi said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Provincial Local Government Officer, Adrian Zulu said the CDF Committee in Mushindamo is concentrating on trying to procure earth moving equipment in 2023.<\/p>\n

Mr Zulu,however, said the committee has plans to divert some extra funds from bursaries to desks procurement.<\/p>\n

He further clarified that the number of desks mentioned does not include those desks that have been planned for rehabilitation by the DEBS office.<\/p>\n
