Some people in Msanga Ward of Chipata district accuse area councillor, Alick Banda of failing to perform.

Some people in Msanga Ward in Chipata Central Constituency have accused area councillor, Alick Banda of failing to perform.
The residents say that Mr. Banda rarely tours the ward to get a clear understanding of problems that people are facing.
Bernard Banda and Godfrey Zulu told Breeze News that the area faces a lot of problems, such as lack of safe drinking water and poor road network.
But Mr. Banda dismissed the complaints, saying that he has been holding developmental meetings with people.
He however, acknowledged that the ward is facing a number of challenges.
Mr. Banda attributed the slow pace of implementing developmental projects in the area to the delays in the releasing of CDF, Constituency Development Fund.
He explained that the new CDF regulations under PF, the Patriotic Front government have lengthened the process.
The councillor has therefore, appealed to government to find ways in which money for CDF can be released on time.
