Auditor General Anne Chifungula says there can never be gender equality if resources aimed at enhancing the lives of people are not accounted for.
Ms. Chifungula says the national theme for this year’s international women’s day “financing for gender equality and accountability of public resources” is a step further to underscore the importance of accounting for all public resources in the financing of gender equality.
She was speaking in Lusaka today when she made a donation of assorted items to City of Hope ahead of the international women’s day which falls on March 08.
The items donated include mattresses, cooking oil, detergents, a television set, books and other things which amounted to 8 million kwacha.
She said the commemoration of International Women’s Day should inspire women across the global to look beyond their appearances and see in themselves what they can offer to society.
Receiving the donation, City of Hope Sister in-charge, Pyszarda Piejko, thanked the Auditor General’s office for the gesture.
She said the centre is currently running 13 projects which include providing education from grades one to nine and provides some training skills for vulnerable children.
She said the school has over 800 pupils and requires new facilities in order to improve the quality education offered.
This year’s global theme of International women’s day is “shaping progress’, through investing in women and girls.
Tell that to members of parliament? that is where much of our resources are wasted? iwe ulaya bwino…finshi ulelanda…AG? you are the same bootlickers that have been compromised.
Too much energy is wasted on ‘accounting for resources’; yet the best approach is to mornitor the resources before, during and after they have been expended. In Cost Engineering, we call that Earned Value Management. In medicine they call it ‘prevention it better than cure’. You accountants get it wrong because you always rely in historical financial data to gauge the financial health of anything you want to analyse. Sorry, it usually is too late!! That’s why you always discover so many billions went missing in 200*; all history. Get off your butts and start working. Twanaka naimwe
it’s a very good call that need support of all well meaninf Zambians.AG do your work prudently and we shall support you.Make sure all those stealing are put behind bars.
