The Medical for Quality Healthcare in Zambia (MQHZ) has condemned the reported abuse and misapplication of funds donated by various stakeholders for the purpose of fighting the Covid 19 pandemic.
MQHZ Director General Dr. Quince Mwabu said these sad revelations have come at a time when the Ministry of Health has failed to pay allowances to frontliners.
According to information made available to Zambian Business Times-ZBT, Mwabu said all the donations towards the fight against Covid 19 must be accounted for in order for cooperating partners to have confidence in the Ministry of Health once again.
He added that it is not right for people to abuse office and public resources for their personal benefits when the health sector has monumental challenges.
MQHZ has demanded that the hard working health workers fighting corona virus be paid immediately as promised to them by the health Minister Dr. Chitalu Chilufya. Mwabu has also called on the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to act quickly against all those behind the abuse and immediately have them relieved of their duties if they are found wanting.
