A civic leader in Mungwi District has expressed happiness with the implementation of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) projects in his area.

Fibwe Ward Councillor Christopher Chikoyi disclosed that the ward has benefitted from different categories of the Constituency Development Funds (CDF) allocation.

Mr. Chikoyi cited the Chamfubu Bridge, which has been worked on by the local authority, as one of the major CDF projects that the people in the area cried for.

He said the movement of people and goods has been made easy, following the rehabilitation of the crossing point.

“Previously, people faced challenges in transporting their agricultural produce and farming inputs, but now it’s easier after working on the bridge,” he observed. 

The councillor added that a number of schools and health centres are also receiving additional infrastructure under the fund.

Mr. Chikoyi also revealed that some youths and women have equally received empowerment packages under the funds.

“I want to thank government for the enhanced CDF because it has really made a positive impact on rural development through community projects,” Mr. Chikoyi said.

Mr. Chikoyi has since urged more young people in his ward to apply for bursaries to pursue deferent skills training.
