Members of Parliament are reportedly abusing US$50 000 given to each constituency for development.According to Sunday News of 25-31 March 2012,some of the Members of Parliament were aarested following allegations that they were abusing these funds.
The Minister of Local Government,Ignatious Chombo has called for an audit in order to see how these funds are being used.I think it is not the work of the Members of Parliament to develop constituencies but their duty is to administer development.
Some people are also saying that in order for these funds to be used accordingly it is better to be kept by local government officials than to be kept by the Members of Parliament.This money is supposed to develop the local people not MPs only.
I think this subject needs views form the masses, so what is your take?
