Zambians urged to demand prudent use of tax payers’money

The Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) says Zambians should demand prudent use of their tax payers’ money by politicians and senior civil servants.

FODEP Executive Director Macdonald Chipenzi says it is unfair for Secretary to the Cabinet to remain mute on how much money was spent on the Presidential delegation to the UN General Assembly to New York recently.

Mr. Chipenzi says the Secretary to the Cabinet should tell the Zambian people where the money to take care of such a huge presidential delegation came from.

He adds that Zambia should be ashamed to be given as an example of a country that took a huge delegation of 256 people to the UN General Assembly.

Mr. Chipenzi further states that it is sad that while the people of Zambia are suffering, resources are being wasted on things that are less important.
