Those saying CDF ambulances are second hand, are mentally ill, says PS Phiri
LOCAL Government and Rural Development Permanent Secretary Nicholas Phiri says the 37 remaining CDF ambulances will be delivered by November 30, 2025.
And Phiri says health workers should take interest in those insinuating that the ambulances procured by his ministry are second-hand, suggesting that they could be suffering from mental health issues.
Phiri has also disclosed that government has procured 10 tractors for the seven constituencies in Lusaka at a total cost of K14.8 million, TV Yatu learns through News Diggers.
On Tuesday, government flagged off the distribution of 119 CDF ambulances to various constituencies.
Speaking during the inspection of the 10 new tractors, Friday, Phiri said the ambulance suppliers had now understood the logistical challenges.
