The Parliamentary Committee on Local Government has expressed happiness with the rate at which the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) projects are being executed in Kitwe. 

Committee Chairperson, Newton Samakai however, has expressed concern at the poor quality of some projects.

Mr Samakai was speaking when the committee received submissions from members of the public on the performance of CDF administration in Kitwe.

He noted that most of the projects are being undertaken by inexperienced contractors as experienced ones are shunning from participating because the projects are unprofitable.

And Kitwe Town Clerk, Patrick Kambita appealed for manpower in terms of surveyors and engineers managing CDF projects. 

And among submissions made, members of the public complained that they are not able to access funds under the CDF disaster component due to unfavorable conditions attached.

Others submitted that the costs submitted during bids for CDF projects are too low leading to poor quality of works.
