Kabwe Municipal Council Director of Engineering Cosmas Mpundu says the K 100 Million Land Development Fund (LDF) his council received, was used for placing beacons in Makandanyama area.
Mr. Mpundu told ZANIS in an interview, that the provincial survey department used part of the funds for beacon placement in Makandanyama area.
He was commenting on the Auditor general’s report which has revealed that the K 100 Million disbursed to the council for land development was lying idle in the bank thereby attracting dormant and ledger fee amounting to K 650, 000.
Mr Mpundu told ZANIS in an interview that the money was particularly for surveying and beaconing the 184, 000 hectares of land.
Mr. Mpundu explained that part of the money would be spent on street lighting project in Kabwe.
The Auditor General’s report, revealed irregularities in the administration of that Land development fund (LDF) by some councils including Kabwe municipal council.

Thief justifying his cause. Learn to be purpose driven and not wishful thinking….
