Government says it will construct an artificial insemination centre at a cost of K 247,000 in Solwezi District to improve cattle breeds in area and beyond.
Vice President Guy Scott says that already a contractor for the project has already been awarded for the job and is already on site.
He said government through the ministry of agriculture will this year also construct a dip tank at Miranda in Chief Moment’s chiefdom at a cost of K180, 000 to assist in reduction of livestock diseases.
He added that government has this year increased the number of farmer input support programmed beneficiaries in Solwezi from 11,300 to 12,500 out of which 1,570 will be from Chief Moment’s chiefdom.
The Vice President said this in a speech ready on his behalf by Home Affairs Minister, Dr Ngosa Simbyakula during this year’s Lubinda Ntongo traditional ceremony of the Kaonde speaking people held at Chief Mumena’s palace in Solwezi, yesterday.
Dr Scott implored traditional leaders to take a leading role in discouraging practices that hinder development such as gender based violence and marrying off their school going girls at a tender age.
Speaking at the same occasion, Lubinda Ntongo Ntongo National Chairperson, General Sunday Kayumba implored the people of Chief Mumena to take advantage of government’s developmental projects taking place in the area to better their lives.
Meanwhile, prominent clergy, Bishop Kazhila implored traditional leaders and the people of North-western province to be united and be focused to Jesus Christ in order to enhance development in the province.
Bishop Kazhila said time for worshiping idols, ancestors, wizardly and Satanism is over and therefore people need to focus their faith in Jesus.
We need such development. Bishop Kazhila u r right people ve to stick to the Lord !!
@Anderson, what is Godly in taking in putting condom on a bull. Then they manual masturbate it, take arm force it in a screaming cow.
Creation of a life has to be enjoyed, even in animals.
Government can’t even support the people it has now. Why make more people?
Ok as long as it is not cloning!
Ati abashi “wizardly” – Harry Potter iliko lol
Yaba! I thought this project is for human beings…fyapena my female friend wants artificial insemination not willing to permit umuzompiki as she claims that she can’t find a right man. Sorry dear, this project is for suntwe’s.
Thumbs up boma.
@Kipe kekeke hahaha ati it for Suntwes. So your female friend can’t permit your mzopiki neither? Did you show her, tell her that it can inseminate.
GOOD PROJECT BUT K250, 000.00 TO CONSTRUCT THIS CENTRE DOESN’T SEEM TO BE ENOUGH. NORTH WESTERN PROVINCE IS NOW MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN EVEN COPPER-BELT PROVINCE. HENCE, DESERVES A GOOD INVESTMENT CAPITAL. SOLWEZI SHOULD BE A MODERN TOWN BY NOW. IT WILL WILL NEVER BE IF GRZ WILL BE CONSTRUCTING STRUCTURES OUT OF POCKET MONEY FOR THE MINISTERS’ CHILDREN. AND PLEASE GIVE DESIGNING OF THE BUILDING TO SOMEONE WHO KNOW AND IS EXPOSED TO COUNTRIES LIKE BOTSWANA. BUILDINGS ZAMBIANS DESIGN ARE SO UGLY KWATI FITELE FYANKUMBA, SURE.
