Acting Chilanga District Commissioner, Maureen Chilende has commended President Hakainde Hichilema for revising the Cash for Work Programme, saying the initiative will help ensure continuity of community services.
Ms Chilende indicated that continuous implementation of the programme across the country, will uplift the lives of vulnerable individuals while ensuring a clean environment.
She said this today, when she officiated at an orientation meeting for data entry clerks under the revised Cash for Work Programme.
“Programmes such as this complement the broader development efforts being undertaken across the country under the leadership of President Hakainde Hichilema, who places strong emphasis on improving sanitation in our communities and the welfare of citizens, ensuring that no one is left behind,” noted Ms Chilende.
Meanwhile, Chilanga Town Council Secretary, Francis Ndola assured that the local authority has put measures in place to ensure the smooth running of the programme citing the deployment of data entry clerks.
Mr Ndola explained that the deployment of data entry clerks will help the council capture relevant information for the timely payment of beneficiaries.
He further added that the revised Cash for Work Programme will help vulnerable citizens make ends meet through paid work.
“This time around, the programme will cover the whole country, and each vulnerable but viable individual can apply to participate,” said Mr Ndola.
This same electoral gimmick covers 0.000000000000001 of the population with their cadres given preference.
Give us real jobs, not this.
