Lundazi DC takes a swipe at sub standard materials supplier

Lundazi District Commissioner (DC), Masauso Banda on Thursday took a swipe at Wamwabi General Dealers for supplying sub standard materials used to construct Mkomba Health Post in Chief Kapichila’s area in Lundazi District.

Mr. Banda said the building materials used were of a sub standard and this has resulted into the entire project being shoddy.

The DC was speaking when he inspected construction works on newly constructed Mkomba Health Post in chief Kapichila’s area.

The construction work is being done by a local contractor at a total cost of K100million, sourced from Community Development Funds (CDF).

Mr. Banda said it was vital for the local suppliers to prove to the general community that they supplied high quality materials to woe the market.
The sub standard materials observed by the inspectorate team were poor door frames and door shutters, window frames, cornice and cover strips.

And Lundazi District Director of Health, Godfrey Lingenda and the inspectorate team revealed that Mkomba Project was one of the most highly funded community projects in Lundazi district.

Dr. Lingenda lamented that it is unfortunate that the community decided to hand over an uncompleted Project done in a shoddy way to the ministry.

He revealed that the clinic will only be handed over when the works are in accordance with government’s laid down specifications.

  1. Why castigate the supplier……castigate the one who was buying didn’t they realise that the materials were sub standard?

  2. Was this supplier the cheapest of the quotations you got or maybe the usual thing of wako ni wako were you share the monies and employee the cheapest source
