World Bank report worries PAC leader

PAC President Andyford Bandabanda

People’s Alliance for Change (PAC) President, Andyford Banda says revelations by the World Bank that 75 percent of the Zambian Cabinet decisions are never implemented is concerning.

In its “Zambia Systematic Country Diagnosis” report of March 2018, the World Bank has noted that weak capacity to manage public expenditure and implement policy programs is undermining service delivery effectiveness.

Mr. Banda says this report is an eye opener to the government and to be precise, cabinet, to ensure that it implements all its pronouncements and decisions.

He says this report is de-motivating as it is shows that those in cabinet are failing to stick to what they promise and assure the people.
