Local government minister Nkandu Luo has observed that some of the businesses that the councils are supposed to run for purposes of revenue collection have been taken up by individual senior council officials.
Professor Luo has told QFM news that this has resulted in conflicts of interest especially in the hospitality business where councils are supposed to run guest houses.
The minister adds that this has led to the deterioration of most council guest houses in the country thereby contributing to the narrowing of the revenue base for local authorities in the country.
Professor Luo observed that some senor council officials that have set up personal guest houses seem to have neglected the running the council guest house facilities.
She stated that these are some of the many management issues that the ministry seeks to address to improve efficiency in the local government system.

Kamba PF and diarrhea are twins
If we can have 10 ministers like Prof Luo,this country can develop at a double quick much.
I know she is not like others who first feed their own pockets to full but concentrating on matters concerning this poor country.

Like in Nakonde where a Ka Council Secretary has Lodge and gets customers meant for the council guest house. this surely shud be addressed.
Inchito isho shamoneka! Fire those officials if they can’t toe the line! Let them go run their Ntembas and employ people who are willing to make a mark!

Ba minister are you complaining or you will do something about it. its all up to you do something shouting in news papers will not help.
Free market Economy at its best.Conflict of interest.
Pointing out problems ALL the time, when are you going to offer solutions?
Every time a PF minister speaks, they are talking about ‘trying’ to address.
