Government has released Over K27 Billion for the construction of a High School in Lufwanyama District.
Local Government Deputy Minister Lwipa Puma who is also area member of Parliament said the construction of the high school which started about four months ago would see modern boarding facilities and an ultra modern laboratory.
Dr Puma in an Interview with ZANIS in Lufwanyama that the construction of the high school has come at a better time when government was striving hard to meet the millennium goals on education which stresses the need to have quality education for all citizens.
He said it was important that the people of Lufwanyama District accessed better education facilities to ensure that they acquired better education and survival skills to help in the development of the Country.
Lufwanyama has had no high school and that some students were still learning in grass thatched classrooms.
Meanwhile Lufwanyama Municipal Council has released K400 Million Community Development Fund (CDF) for various developmental projects in the area.
Dr Puma who disclosed this to ZANIS said his office has released K30 Million for the replacement of roofing sheets of 60 Schools in the area.
Dr Puma added that a total of 24 other projects were expected to be funded from CDF in the rehabilitation and construction of other public facilities.

This is surely a good move!! I just hope that it is not being done to make preparations for 2011!! The people as a whole need full support in social matters even after elections.
Jamaco… How long have we been pouring billions of Kwacha in schools… the glimmer of hope we have now are these persecutions of people embezzling government funds, maybe that will deter them and help kids get their development money for the schools. We have been there done that, this is not something new, the media is sleeping we need another post like paper to expose these, the post cannot do it alone…
so, so
Going to school to learn skills?
Is this what the papers can do…. they are a mediocre in reporting. Listen to them “Meanwhile Lufwanyama Municipal Council has released K400 Million Community Development Fund (CDF) for various developmental projects in the area” what we need are facts what developmental projects? No wonder we have these thieves embezzling government funds. We have to know what those projects are so we can follow up, what is the matter wrong with us we never learn do we. Tell the people what those projects are and everything works out on its own the people will cry foul if they do not see the projects, but as it is a leeway has been given to the embezzlers.
cont’d…My personal judgment is that some reporters need educating
How big is the same school going to be.Beacause thats a loot of mola..Taxpayers money.two months in the projects they will tel us 200 big ones are missing.Crap….
