MZUZU-(MaraviPost)-UTM Member of Parliament (MP) for Karonga Nyungwe constituency, Kenneth Ndovie is at risk of losing his seat if found guilty of abusing Constituency Development Fund (CDF) by the court of law this publication has learnt.
It is suspected that Ndovie failed to follow CDF public procurement guidelines in some projects a thing which has attracted Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).
For instance, Ndovie is suspected of defiling the public procurement guidelines by hand-picking contractors of his choice.
One of the suspected hot example is the way the borehole drilling contactor named Happy Mhango Construction won the K15 million tender without bid.
PPDA spokesperson, Ketie Kujaliwa confirmed to this publication that CDF is under PPDA Act as it is public fund.
“All PPDA procedures are supposed to be followed when dealing with CDF,” she said.
