Insiza Rural District Council has channelled $27 million in devolution funds towards the implementation of major capital projects, which include building of schools and clinics to improve people’s livelihoods.
Mr Jusa Zacharia, Insiza District Development Coordinator said numerous projects were nearing completion.
“Since 2019 we received $27 million from devolution funds and all our devolution funds have been channelled mainly to the building of two clinics and one school,” he said.
Mr Zacharia said since they started receiving devolution funds, they have built toilets and three classrooms at Bekezela Primary School.
They have also done plumbing at the school and are now waiting for delivery of furniture they bought for the school.
He said they have also built Montrose 7 clinic after transforming an unused farm house.
Mr Zacharia said they have done rehabilitation, plumbing, painting, drilled a borehole and they have also put a tank.
“Everything has been done and we are currently waiting for the material we have procured and their delivery is expected on Friday so the clinic is almost 95 percent complete,” he said.
At Mbondo Clinic, new houses for staff were built.
“Mbondo clinic is already being used by the community. It was partially built by World Vision and council took over to build the outstanding structures using devolution funds and a few fittings are outstanding, but the clinic is operational,” said Mr Zacharia.
He said a few nurses have been deployed and are living there.
