The Ndola District Administration has, with immediate effect, suspended activities of the Keep Zambia Clean and Healthy Campaign Copperbelt Committee (KZCHCCC) pending investigations of alleged malpractices.
In a letter addressed to KZCHCCC president and copied to the Provincial Permanent Secretary, Ndola District Commissioner Moses Mumba said his office had been notified that the NGO was in the habit of soliciting funds from business houses and government institutions to run their activities.
He said the practice was contrary to what was expected of the organisation as it was an advocacy NGO.
The DC further stated that an organ of Keep Ndola Clean was already in existence under the chairmanship of Ndola City Council, adding that it was imperative for the NGO to conduct its activities under the mandate of the local authority.
KZCHCCC is reported to have collected over K8 million from all high and basic schools in Ndola, which was used for paying allowances and food at a workshop they recently held at Lowenthal Theater.

Chaps sure, yyyyyyyyyyyyyy
these workshops shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These pipo do nothing but sit idly at their workshops and jus getting allowances + plus invitng girlfriends to their rooms.Useless.
At least someone was making an effort at keeping CB clean. Garbage disposal should be each town’s responsibility through local goverment and that has not happened since Welensky left.
sad
We have way too many associations for nothing..Keep Zambia clean campaign, how?
Collect money from schools, this is a prosecution case. Schools, as it is, are starved of funds and you have an organisation which does nothing better but chat, extorting money from poor
schools. Corruption is rife in Zambia because of situations like this.
Keeping one’s environment clean is a personal responsibility. An association is not necessary.
