Petauke District Council is expected to complete projects which were funded last year through Constituency Development fund (CDF) from 2008-2009 funding by the end of this year.
Council Secretary Boyd Mboyi told ZANIS in Petauke that most of the CDF funded projects earmarked for completion this year are in Petauke Central, Msanzala and Kapoche constituencies.
He said not new projects would be embarked on in the affected areas until the pending projects are completed.
He said 37 projects are targeted for completion in the three areas.
In another development, Petauke District Council is investigating a matter in which some CDF funded projects funded were not executed.
Council Secretary, Boyd Mboyi, said some materials bought under CDF have not been delivered to the intended beneficiaries.
Mr. Mboyi disclosed in an interview with ZANIS in Petauke yesterday that some funds have also been shared among some committee members of the three Constituencies which has prompted the local authority to investigate the matter.
The Council Secretary said he would like to see the culprits brought to book as the money was meant to benefit the local people.

Ok, but dont get money from Dora Siliya again for these projects. No refunds will be entertained.
Petauke CS should also be punished for poor accounting practices. How does he collect money from an individual without proper documentation, like what happened with Dora Siliya? Nobody knows how many such transactions could have taken place without the knowledge of the full council?
Thats Dora Siliya’s unfinished home work…
