The Southern African Center for Constructive Resolution of Disputes (SACCORD) has called on government to allocate more funds towards governance in the 2011 national budget.
SACCORD Programme Officer for Accountability and Good governance, Michelo Mwango said as the Fifth National Development Plan (FNDP) concludes this year, her organization expects government to concentrate more on the electoral processes in the 2011 National budget.
Mrs Mwango says the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) currently faces numerous financial constraints and that there is need for more funding to the Commission to enable it operate effectively.
She has,however, hailed government for the infrastructure development taking place in the country.
She noted that though a lot has been achieved, economic growth has not reduced poverty levels in the country.
Mrs Mwango has since advised government to ensure that there is an equal distribution of wealth in the country with regards to the rural areas.
Finance and National Planning minister, Situmbeko Musokotwane is this Friday expected to present the 2011 national Budget to Parliament.

Time will soon come when your tricks of making money will end. Pls Habasonde find something constructive to do and earn your money genuinely than using governance issues. No wonder you always talk of issues that are of no relevance to the well being of a common Zambian. Educate Zambians to work hard even in places of work and also to be innovative and to be focused. Remember we cant eat your govenance thing.
