The residents of Chitambo are expressing their gratitude to the government for the successful implementation of several Community Development Fund (CDF) projects in the area. The local leadership in Chitambo has been actively involved in the handover of completed projects, with the latest batch consisting of four projects.
The Chitambo Local Authority, in collaboration with various stakeholders, has worked tirelessly to implement government policies, particularly the CDF program. This flagship program of the new-dawn government aims at bringing social amenities closer to the people, aligning with the government’s vision. As a result, the local leadership has received high praise from the community.
During the handover ceremony, a team led by District Commissioner Mr. Evans Chola, along with Council Chairperson Mr. Brian Mwelwa, Council Secretary Mr. Mwiche I Mudala, and other senior district party and government officials, officially handed over the projects. These projects include the Chenga Community Projects 1×2 Class Room Block, Solar Energy Power installation at Miseshi Primary School, 13 drilled and equipped hand pumps, and the rehabilitation of Mchinka Clinic. The government invested a substantial amount of K1,489,970.0M in these projects.
Addressing the audience, the District Commissioner stressed the importance of community collaborating with the Ward Development Committees (WDCs) to ensure that CDF projects in the district meet the needs of the people. He further highlighted that President Hakainde Hichilema’s government has empowered the people to have a say in the decision-making process through the WDCs, thereby promoting decentralization.
The Council Chairperson also emphasized the community’s responsibility to maintain and care for the infrastructure. He expressed his gratitude to the new-dawn government for implementing effective policies that have resulted in visible progress across the district.
Ms. Priscilla Ng’andwe Mwemba, the Chitambo District Education Standards Officer, expressed her appreciation on behalf of the education department for the implementation of CDF projects. She acknowledged the significant infrastructure development in the education sector through the CDF program and pledged to ensure the proper maintenance of the entrusted facilities.
The successful implementation of these CDF projects in Chitambo stands as a testament to the government’s commitment to improving the lives of its citizens. The local community looks forward to more collaborative efforts and continued development in the future.
