CDF guidelines to be simplifies-Musokotwane

Masauso Mkwayaya-Finance Minister SITUMBEKO MUSOKOTWANE says the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) guidelines will be simplified to allow Constituencies to make decisions with minimum approvals from Lusaka.

Dr. MUSOKOTWANE says the guidelines will be simplified in order to enhance utilisation of the fund especially in rural Constituencies.

He says the system will be reengineered to ensure that Communities are given an opportunity effectively utilise the CDF .

And Dr. MUSOKOTWANE says management of the fund has been centralised In Lusaka and Government has not paid attention to rural areas over the years.

He says this has caused a situation where children in rural areas are still sitting on the floor when learning and people lacking basic services like clean drinking water and access to health care.

Dr. MUSOKOTWANE says the CDF is therefore meant to address poverty in the rural areas.

The Finance Minister said this during ZNBC’s Sunday Interview.
