Mongu council admits diverting capital funds to salaries

1. Why not if thats all they have?

2. It was also a smart move :d

3. yakosa manje [-(

4. Poor planning when are we goin to start sticking to our projects?

5. 3RqU you’re scooping all the l-) today. I’ve been away too long.

6. Mongu, my beloved town.>:d< at least you have made news.

7. Yes Nine Chale. On the ball today. Are you alright? l-)

8. This is serious! What is the correct p u n i s h m e n t to these Mongu Council people misusing money intended for community projects. We need examples so that others may not do the same again. Money has to be used where it is intended if we are to develop.

9. 3RqU is rigging #1 spot >:)>:)
   are you related to VJ?

10. #9 Toko :d:d:d:d

    I learnt a few tricks from him. Good morning man.

11. 3RqU I’m OK bro. and how are you? I’m only feeling a bit tired because I didn’t have enough sleep this weekend. I hope to catch up with l-) after my afternoon nap. Watch me!:)

12. Someone had talked about fishy stuff at Mongu Council…ok. Kanshi na ba Lozi baleba nabo ? 😮

13. ba maureen
    dont you know thats MMD’s stronghold, what did u expect?

14. Who can blame them..

15. Ba Maureen bushe Mongu ba Lozi? I thought niba bululu bakwa Maestro? 😮

16. There is poor expenditure tracking in Zed. It is not only at Mongu council that funds are diverted. Look at the Ministry of Education. Head Teachers, DEBS and buildings officers have built better guest houses than school infrastructure. MOE just pumps money into fictitious projects without monitoring how the funds are spent. Now we will see how Teta will handle this bcoz not long ago someone mentioned that Mongu council was being run by grade zeros

17. :o~o)

18. Money issues those calprits should be held responsible for mismanaging those funds we need serious leadership in the nation chiluba erra . :d/:-?

19. i meant chiluba erra is over where u could diverty funds without punishment, :-?:d/

20. Great Spirit from MMD Mongu councilors for coming out clean and being sincere about it. That is the way to go. There are many councils across the country who have mismanaged funds and they would not even come forward and admit it. This Council needs to be applauded for being straight forward about it and I hope they have set a precedence and everybody will do the noble thing and come out straight. It is a dawn of a new error. The economist is in charge.

    Bootlicker you decided to run away that afternoon. :d

22. Hey!

    Lets not blame them(council) For I believe the job can’t be done effecientely and effective if at all the workers are not fed.Bravo all mongu councillors. =d>=d>=d>=d>

23. FTJ messed up by taking the main source of revenue for councils,Council housing & managing water supply & sewerage services to the community.When houses were sold,the money did not go back to the councils but diverted to a duplicate national housing authority,PHI which was a means of stealing by Chiluba thru his assistant Sakala who spent some time in jail,am sure he’s still in trouble for the same.Councils will always struggle on their own without much govt funding because of the low rates of land rates households pay,it’s high time the nation effectively used computers so that everyones details are on record in order to chase up on debts owed to the council thru..contnd

24. #24 parking fees,council tax(land rates)etc,the councils can also team up with utility companies so that they take payments for services given by others like paying phone bill,road taxes,drivers licences etc like it was before,that way councils can earn a bit of commission from those transactions,ZAMPOST too could do the same,that is how Councils & Post Offices survive in developed countries especially from housing.

25. #21 3RqU

    MMD Chief Bootlicker and Matworld are one and the same person.

    Jamaco and Nine Chale are one and the same person. Just checked their IPS numbers. :)>-

26. Give the people what they need.:d

27. Ki manyando luli, I dont know whether to laugh or cry. I love you Mongu. Musike mwa sinya naha yaluna yende, lufitile kwa kuomboka muno mwaha. :d/:d/

28. 25. your flag Computer Geek!

    We can never be one. I also checked your IP! :d

29. the councils should be impowered so as to effectively run the its operations.otherwise they had no option.

30. Computer Geek alipena ka? Ati Jamaco & I are one?

31. #30 Elo atoba akasungu ati “IP Numbers” instead of IP Address.
    Nine Chale @shani ?

32. #12 Ba Maureen have you read the article? The Town clerk who diverted the funds is not even Lozi. He is from the usual suspects. :((

33. What do you expect were you find chilbas brehren ?. Stealing and mismagment are the oders of the day.
    What are they doing with monies collected by way of rates, rents. Unless they are completely mismaneging the place.

    Fire the lot of them

35. Ba Maureen, nebo ndifye bwino. Pa blog tondolo lelo ka?

36. A blonde wanted to sell her car, but couldn’t find any buyers. She called her friend for advice, and her friend asked her how many KMs she had on her car.

    “235,000 Km.” Her friend told her that was the problem. But the blonde’s friend told her that her brother is a mechanic and could put back the KMs to whatever she wanted. So the blonde went to the mechanic and told him to put the KMs at 40,000. Two days later the blonde’s friend asked her if she sold the car since her brother adjusted the KMs. The blonde told her, “Why would I sell the car? It has only done 40,000Kms !”

37. Ba Molini, don’t start blonde jokes, my wife is blonde![-x

38. A certain First Lady was on her first abroad trip with her elderly Presido Hubby. Since they had separate meetings in different towns, they were forced to sleep in different hotels. The Lady’s private secy got concerned in the morning the morning because her lady boss did not turn up for breakfast. She called her room and the First Lady answered the phone, crying, and said,”I can’t get out of the room!” “You can’t get out of your room Madam, How?” the secretary asked. She replied, “There are only two doors here,” she sobbed, “one is to the bathroom and the other has a sign written “Please Do Not Disturb”

39. A blonde decides she wants to go ice fishing. So she goes to the library and reads and researches ice fishing. Then she goes to the sporting goods store and buys everything she needs.

    Then she finally thinks she is ready so she goes out to the ice and starts drilling a hole. Suddenly she hears a voice from up above. It says: “There are no fish under the ice.”

    So she decides to go farther down on the ice. She starts drilling and she hears the voice again: “There are no fish under the ice.”
    So she packs up her things and moves down the ice again. She starts drilling and she hears the voice again, “There are no fish under the ice.”
    “Is that you Lord?” she says.”No,” says the voice, “I’m

40. #37 Oh Sorry. My husband is an Eskimo

41. Ba Maureen I also have a joke:

    An Elephant entered a pub at a lodge, sat at the bar, ordered a beer & said “how much does it cost?”.
    “K 25,000 for beer,” answered the barman shocked “but you’re the first elephant to walk inside here and order a beer!”
    “No wonder!” replied the Elephant, “…with such exagerrated prices!”

42. Talking about Eskimos, how do Eskimos pee? Urine in ice block form.:))

43. Iwe Nine Chale alles klar?

    Ba Maureen mulishani?

44. Alles klar Jamaco, how was your weekend? I tried to call you but your phone is off!

45. Ati ma Jokes OK!!!

    When I was young I didn’t like going to weddings.
    My grandmother would tell me, “You’re next”
    However, she stopped doing that after I started saying the same thing to her at funerals.

46. Nine Chale I was sleeping after I came back from Siegen. Now am awake.

47. A: Do you want to hear a dirty joke?
    B: Ok
    A: A white horse fell in the mud. :o:o:o:o:o

48. OK, I’ll give you a call now…

49. Mwa puma akuna bagwenyama kwa hae.

50. (Sorry this topic is not related to the story) Today marks 90 days since this Govt was elected into power. They have finished their 3 months probation and as Zambians we have a right to analyse their performance during this timeframe with all fairness. I have been searching for the MMD campaign manifesto and have not got a hold of it ,infact the website for President Banda is down ,anyhow we should still assess their performance so far.
    Accomplishments
    1) Promised to increase University Students meal allowance – The Meal allowances were increased in the first week of office but have not yet taken effect.
    2) Promised to reduce Mealie Meal prices – This was done after much pressure from

51. various stakeholders.
    3) Promised to reduce the price of fuel – This was done after pressure from various stakeholders.
    I can’t think of any other accomplishments ,bloggers please feel free to add more.
    Weaknesses/Failures
    1.Corruption is still rampart in Zambia
    2. Promised to create 4000 jobs which equates to roughly about 111 jobs a month based upon the 3 year period this Govt will be in power. So far the Govt is behind by 333 jobs not being created.
    3.Lack of a strategic Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Timebound policy to empower local investors
    4.Lack of a strategic SMART policy to restructure the health system.
    5.The Fertilizer Support Program is not based on a SMART

52. strategy as a result it is failing and the inputs are not reaching the intended beneficiaries.
    6)Lack of a strategic SMART policy to restructure the education system in Zambia to offer more practical courses that will allow pupils and students to graduate with an enterprising mentality. lack of a policy to build Public Universities in each province.
    7)lack of a a strategic SMART Policy to counter the impact of the Economic Global crisis in Zambia.
    8)lack of a strategic SMART policy to boost Tourism in Zambia, this policy should have a dependency on many factors which should also be SMARTly implemented such as good road infrastructure throughout Zambia,a deliberate policy on encouraging

53. 5 star hotels,shopping malls and social amenities to be built throughout Zambia where there are Tourist attractions.
    9.Too much dependence on foreign investors to the point that there is no serious screening,vetting and Zambia does not maxmize on financial profits and social responsibility ventures from the said investors.
    10)MP’s salaries being increased in the first month of this Govt bein in power even when suce a move was denied during campaign time.
    11) Wasted tax payers money and financial resources in sending Govt officials for medical treatment abroad which is not even part of the annual budget.
    12)Too many trips by the President instead of delegating and spending this crucial

54. time to brainstorm and tackle the problems that Zambia is facing.
    13)No strategic SMART plan to ensure that the NCC delivers a constitution that is representative of the Zambian population at minimal cost.
    14)No strategic SMART policy to ensure that the civil service including local councils is restructured and produces quality services.
    Number 8 should include a strategic SMART policy that encourages multiple Zambian owned airlines to operate local,international including regional and long distance flights.Bloggers feel free to add your analysis. We need to hold accountable every Govt that will ever rule Zambia. Blogging and complaining is the beginning of solutions but we need to go

55. beyond that. God bless Zambia.

56. Its not new for councils country wide to divert capital funds to pay salaries. That is reason of no meaningful development in councils.

57. :-w
