The Communication Authority of Zambia (CAZ) will soon start disbursing over K14 billion rural telecommunication funds to all the 72 districts of the country.
CAZ Director for Economic Regulations, Susan Mulikita, said the disbursement of the rural telecommunication funds will step-up CAZ efforts of enhancing Information Communication Technology (ICTs) services in all the areas of the country.
Mrs. Mulikita said this today at the media forum organised by the Communications Authority of Zambia in Lusaka.
She said the disbursement of the funds will also encourage local entrepreneurs to set-up telecommunication businesses especially in rural areas to help enhance the growth of the ICT sector in the country.
Mrs. Mulikita further said the introduction of the rural telecommunication funds will also have various incentives that will empower people in rural areas to set-up ICT businesses and encourage ICT operators to effectively grow their business.
She disclosed that the Communications Authority of Zambia Board has already allowed the authority to start disbursing the funds in order to facilitate the growth of the ICT sector in the country.

Hoping that this is not a Mukudya Mweka Daddy (MMD) campaign strategy.

interesting indeed. but we would like to know who is going to administer these funds? is it the Ministry of Communications or the CAZ? AND IN ANY CASE WHERE ARE THE GUIDELINES?
I guess this will be looked at as campaign strategy.
