MOST ministries in the UPND government are either ignorant of their core businesses, functions and responsibilities or have lost their core business functions because no one seems to know or undertand what they are doing,’ Mwenya Musenge has said
Mr Musenge, the Advocates for People’s Prosperity (APP) interim president, said one of the ministries which seem to be ignorant of its core business and responsibilities was the Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development which was yet to embark on any significant project from the time the new dawn administration formed government in 2021
Mr Musenge said the ministry was receiving funding from the Central government, not only for salaries but for general government property maintenance and construction, but was yet to embark on any significant project, apart from the controversial Lusaka-Ndola dual carriage-way
“We all know that these ministries have their core businesses, functions and responsibilities. Now, interestingly, majority of these ministries have lost their core business, functions and responsibilities. Ministries like the Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development whose core function is to remedy government infrastructure in the country like roads, hospitals and schools.”
And Mr Musenge has challenged the Road Development Agency (RDA) to tell the nation whether it had authorised the Kitwe City Council (KCC) to use paving stones to patch up potholes on Independence Avenue
