And addressing contractors and suppliers after contracts signing, Lumezi Town Council Secretary, Mary Sinkala said the 2025 CDF contracts have been awarded in good time hence the Local Authority’s expectation that all projects will be completed within the given contract period.
“There are no shortcuts in these contracts, if you make a shortcut, it is your loss” Ms. Sinkala cautioned the contractors in a statement issued to RCV News today.
She said the Council is a partner in development calling on contractors to always consult with the Local Authority and whenever they encounter challenges during contract execution.
