President Hakainde Hichilema has tasked relevant authorities to enforce measures that will recover public resources paid for undelivered goods and services to the government. President Hichilema said that it is unacceptable that contracts worth about K12 billion were signed for feeder roads and some contractors were given down payments but no work has been done, adding that over $ 63 million was also paid for two projects which were never delivered. The Head of State said public service procurement is a key tenet to public governance and hence needs to be adhered to at all times. President Hichilema also stated that Zambia stands no chance of reconstructing the economy if systems that collapsed are not worked on. He said public expenditure, procurement of fertilizer, fuel, infrastructures like roads, and general procurement have been the major hindrance to economic development and need urgent attention.
