Kasenengwa Member of Parliament, Philemon Thwasa, has attributed the delayed payments under the cash for work program in his and many other constituencies across the country to lack of funding.
Mr. Twasa says the program has not been funded for some time, triggering complaints from those, who have worked under the cash for work program.
Some beneficiaries of the Cash for work program in Kasenengwa district have told Breeze FM News that they have not been paid despite working as far back as October last year.
However, the area Member of Parliament says the complaints are not unique to his Constituency as other members of parliament have raised similar concerns in parliament.
Meanwhile, when contacted for a comment, Eastern Province Minister, Peter Phiri, says he will comment on the matter once he gathers facts.
