The Ministry of Finance and Economic Development has disbursed $124 million to be paid to transporters of inputs under the Climate-Proofed Presidential inputs scheme, commonly known as Pfumvudza/Intwasa.
In a question and answer session in Parliament on Wednesday, Finance and Economic Development Deputy Minister Clemence Chiduwa, said funds for transporters were released after a request from the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Resettlement.
“We are aware of the late disbursement of funds, we only release funds when the concerned Ministry requests for it.
“If they request for the funds, that is when we do the budget release and we forward to the requesting Ministry, they then do the pay run and forward to us and we release the funds,” he said
“This process was however delayed but as I speak right now, we disbursed funds to the tune of $124 million for transporters, therefore the problem has been solved.”
