KAZUNGULA District Commissioner Elias Siamibila, has instructed handlers of the Cash for Work (CfW) Programme at Kazungula Town Council to be proactive and ensure that going forward, the initiative should leave an impact in the district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Siamibila says it was unacceptable that from the time the implementation of the CFW programme started in the district, nothing visible can be pointed at to indicate that the programme has really worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The District Commissioner made the remarks during a District Disaster Management Committee (DDMC) review meeting on how Cash for Work programme was previously handled, as the district graduates into the revised model of its implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Siamibila regretted that the government has so far spent huge sums of money towards the programme, noting that if the funds were channeled to construct a classroom block for example, the building would have been constructed at the Central Business District and stood as a good example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe DDMC should take ownership of the programme in order to see transparency and accountability in the manner works are executed by those willing to work under CfW. There is a need to manage the process very well starting from an engagement level to the time beneficiaries are paid,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the meeting, the District Disaster Management Committee members also expressed dissatisfaction in the manner the Cash for Work Programme was previously handled, as no effect was seen on the ground, despite the programme being adequately funded. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
