ZAKA – Zaka Rural District
Council (RDC) says the RTGS$650 000 devolution funds released to it was
invested towards health, with some new clinics expected to be built while
existing ones will be improved.
Speaking to
TellZim News after the devolution meeting held at Zaka Rural District Council
(RDC) board room recently, Zaka RDC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) David Majaura
said the responsible committee agreed to use the money to complete clinic
projects in the district.
He said initially,
council had prioritised the purchase of a rig and a grader but realisations
were then made that the money was not going to be enough.
 “When we discovered that the amount could not
support the plans, we decided to invest it mainly in our clinics and schools
projects. We allocated the amount to constituencies and the local MPs have
given us names of projects they want to be supported,” said Majaura.
In Zaka East
Machiva, Njiva and Benzi clinics will be developed in terms of plumbing and
electricity connections while the other amount will be put towards the
construction of Chiromo Clinic.
In Zaka Central,
the funds will be directed towards Four Miles and Tovani clinics which are
still being built but with progress having stopped due to lack of materials.
Murerekwa Primary
School, whose roof was blown away by Cyclone Idai, will get a share in the Zaka
Central’s share of the money.
In Zaka North,
Makwau Clinic will get a share while the other has gone to Muroyi School which was
also affected by the cyclone.
In Zaka West,
Njiva Clinic and other projects will benefit from the money.
