Wed, 01 Mar 2017 09:59:13 +0000 By JACK MAPAPAYI SOLWEZI Municipal Council has been accused of overspending funds on projects in the newly created Kalumbila district. Kalumbila Kibanza ward councillor Godfrey Munene said that he was disappointed with the manner in which Solwezi council had used the funds on projects in his district. He said according to his findings, the projects in Kalumbila had been funded in the 2016 budget but wondered why the council released more funds towards the same projects. He cited the construction of a 1×2 classroom block at Kyabankanka Primary School in his ward which was approved and financed in the 2016 budget at a cost of K180,000 but an extra K89,714 has been released towards the same project. “So, where did the K180,000 go to for them to release an extra K89,714 towards the same project? This tells you that someone somewhere has pocketed this money,” he said. […]
