Government says it has embarked on a programme to implement the integrated finance management systems which will inter-link all government institutions.
Acting Finance Minister, George Kunda said that once implemented the programme will improve collection of data in all government institutions for national use.
Mr Kunda, who is Justice Minister, observed that currently there is a poor system for collection of information adding that this was hindering monitoring and implementation of various developmental programs.
He was responding to a question raised by Mfuwe PF Member of Parliament, Mwimba Malama who wanted to know how much money was released from the national budget to finance developmental projects in Mfuwe Constituency from 2001 to 2007.
Mr Kunda told the house that over K1 billion both from the Constituency Development Fund (CDEF) and other government programs funds was spent to implement various projects in the constituency from 2001-2007.
He noted that CDF accounted for K476 Million while other government programs accounted for K1, 413,000, 000.
Mr Kunda noted that various projects have been successfully implemented among others the electrification of Mpumba health centre and market adding and that other projects would soon be completed.
