ZINARA said: ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- > Another area of concern noted by ZINARA in 2022 was the low quality of work by some local authorities. > There is a need for local authorities contractors to ensure sustainable quality work because the resources that ZINARA has are limited compared to the work that needs to be done on our roads. > Analysis of the 2022 disbursement statistical data, ZINARA noted that some local authorities overcommitted and entered contracts that were way above their allocations. > Going forward, ZINARA urges the local authorities to budget within their allocations and ensure timely acquittals of disbursed funds. > This is prudentially important in terms of value preservation of their allocated funds.
