In another development Patriotic Front Vice President Guy Scott has said that government is to blame for the poor drainage system in some parts of the capital city Lusaka because it has failed to release money for the project.
Dr Scott said that the money that has so far been released for the drainage system is too little and the opposition political party%u2019s area Members of Parliament and councilors for these areas have used the initiative of using Community Development Funds for the project which he said was also too little to meet the demand.
He said that government knows and agrees that the money given for the project is too little adding that the money for the Kanyama drainage system was only released on the 7th of December making it difficult for the contractor to carry out the works because of the rains.
