Incompetence and lack of action in upnd govt. All they do is talk. How can nkandu perform when he is too busy performing on top of cheap prostitutes in lodges
I seem to remember one party while in opposition telling people that people do not eat roads. How many kilometers of road can you do in K27.5 million CDF if the same CDF has to be used for bursaries, loans, hospitals, schools and many other things. The PF CDF was small but Infrastructure and bursaries did not come from CDF. Do you think you can build infrastructure as large as the Kazungula Bridge from CDF? People may be duped that CDF has been increased but effectively it is in the negatives looking at how much pressure has been put on it.
So true. Transferring the theft of government funds to CDF is just decentralising corruption.
Crucial Role of Roads in Economic Development? The PF used to sing that very song all the time. Now its a different choir same song.
