About 200 by 50 kilogram bags of cement have gone to waste at Nakanya Secondary school in Mongu district of Western Province.
Speaking after inspecting the school in question, Mongu District Commissioner Morgan Akabeswa has expressed disappointment with a contractor tasked to renovate Nakanya Secondary school, for poor storage of bags of cement at the school.
The media reports that Mr Akabeswa said the government is losing colossal sums of money buying bags of cement meant for improving the learning environment for pupils at Nakanya Secondary school.
He has sternly advised the contractor to be wary of the atmospheric weather conditions before purchasing construction materials such as cement, which can easily go to waste under wet conditions.
Meanwhile, the District Commissioner also took time to inspect construction works at Nakanya boarding school, being constructed by the Zambia Education Enhancement Project (ZEEP) funded by the World Bank.
He was impressed with the pace at which the construction works were moving.
The World Bank is constructing about 22 schools in Western Province in order to enhance quality education in the region.
And no heads will roll. In normal govts, minister in charge of energy would have been fired. Zesco would have been reformed. Have you seen how the youngsters who only got independence 30 years later than Zambia namely South Africa have dealt with their power crisis? That’s what you can praise as self reliance
True
We thanks the government of the day, and still looking for a job opportunity
The government loses a lot of money in so many ways due to wastage e.g most government workers spent their time drinking beer during working hours without being punished.The drink without fear in open public places without shame.
