CDF abusers to be named soon

PERMANENT secretary in the Ministry of Constitutional and Parliamentary Affairs Virginia Mabhiza yesterday said the ministry was unlikely to disburse this year’s Constituency Development Fund (CDF) allocations until after the next elections.

Mabhiza told NewsDay the ministry was still waiting for policy guidelines on how to handle the issue considering elections were likely to be held this year.

“So far we still await policy direction on whether to disburse CDF before or after elections because the Minister of Constitutional and Parliamentary Affairs, Eric Matinenga, said it would be better to disburse the funds after elections,” said Mabhiza.
