Health minister, Kapembwa Simbao has described as scandalous the global fund report that highlights both the public and private institutions in the country as having misapplied resources meant for the provision of quality health services.

Mr. Simbao said that the Zambian government is being marginalized in the report.He told QFM that the government did not at any point misapply any resources and is being implicated in this matter because the country is the one on the begging end.

He said that the resources were released as per requirement but the workers are the ones who misapplied the fund and government should not be the one to blame.

Mr. Simbao said that in other countries, governments did indeed squander resources but r Zambia particularly never touched that money.

The recent global fund audit report has cited the ministry of health as not possessing the capacity to handle the global fund money.
