MPs bemoan CDF delays

LEGISLATORS are struggling  to pay bank charges on their Constituency Development Fund (CDF) accounts which have remained unfunded for nearly three years, NewsDay can report.

Epworth North legislator Zivai Mhetu raised the issue in the National Assembly saying the MPs are using personal funds to keep these accounts active.

Mhetu called on the government to intervene and have  accounts exempted from service charges until CDF is disbursed.
