Mpulungu District residents in Northern Province have appealed to government to rehabilitate the dilapidated Mpulungu/Kasama road.
Fred Chunda , who spoke on behalf of the residents, said some stretches of the road have become impassible.
Mr. Chunda lamented that the state of the road promoted road traffic accidents which have claimed many lives and destroyed property.
He told ZANIS in Mpulungu today that traveling between the two districts has become precarious as many motorists are shunning the road.
Mr. Chunda complained that the road has not been maintained since it was constructed over 30 years ago.
And a motorist, Kingford Mulenga said the repair of the road would promote economic activities as it would ease the movement of goods and services.
30 years is too long to leave a road aunattended. Govt please do your work!
sorry, must read “unattended to”
abena “chale” futi mulip….Government should wake up from slumber.
Cheap repair works are done on that road by substandared contractors, and yet that is the road which leads to Zambia’s only port!!!
‘Impassable’ is the word.

I used this road in January, its being repaired but had been suspended at that time due to the heavy rains that were ravaging the area. The contractor looks good, reminded me of the Kapiri Serenje road. What is bad is the Mpulungu-Mbala Road, especially pakwe Makola, it is really bad.
meanwhile this is the area where chibombabomba brags to be representing with speedboats and helping RB get the presidency. why didnt he donate to the repair of this road than keeping quiet until he was dislodged from the warm seat
The MMD Govt., want to promote tourism, well good plan but the infrastructure like raods, airports, strips in poor state. This is a litmus test to their commitment to develop the tourism sector.
