Chimunthu Banda observed that most local communities in the country have not been able to fulfil such responsibilities due to limited finances hence there is need for government intervention.
He added that even the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) through which government channel resources to cater for such projects is also not adequate as the same funds are also required for other crucial areas within the constituency .
