This comes as the council officials appeared before public accounts committee of parliament In order to enquire on the challenges affecting the council

According to Chief executive officer for Mzuzu council Gomezgani Nyasulu, the council is failing to conduct some of its tasks due to unavailability of enough funds within the institution which is a result of poor revenue collection within the council
