Monze plans modern complex

Share

Plans are underway by Monze District in Southern Province to construct a multi building complex at the cost of over K1 billion in a bid to lessen accomodation problems for various activities.

The move has been prompted following the Monze District Development Coordinating Committee (DDCC) which initiated and adopted a project proposal to construct the multi-building complex K1, 170, 000,000 billion at the District administration premises.

The proposed building will have a conference hall, library, store room, computer section, resource centre and HIV/AIDS corner including ablutions.

This came to light during the DDCC meeting held at Monze Hotel yesterday where other projects planned for the district were also discussed.

According to deliberations of the DDCC meeting, the proposed multi-complex building will be meant for various activities and is expected to be completed within a time frame of one year.

And Monze District Commissioner Joyce Nondo said that once the project is funded and successfully completed it will lessen accommodation problems for various activities in the district.

Ms Nondo said the building would also be a source of revenue for the DDCC as people would be able to hire the facility for various functions.

The District Commissioner added that Monze district was developing at a fast rate both economically and socially with a vision for 2030.

She explained that the DDCC came up with the project proposal because the district was lacking facilities for important meetings and other functions.

The Government official appealed to all members of DDCC and other stakeholders to actively participate in realising the construction of the proposed modern building as part of the infrastructure development in the district.

District Buildings Officer Charles Mumba explained during the same meeting that the bill of quantity for the construction of the building had already been done together with actual drawings of the building on the sketch plan.

Mr Mumba told the meeting that nothing had been done on the ground but some donors and well wishers had promised to assist in partly funding the project.

He said the DDCC will have to lobby for financial and technical support from Government and all other stakeholders in order to successfully construct the complex.

The Buildings Officer echoed the District Commissioner’s remarks that the facility once completed will assist in generating revenue.

  1. Pipe dream…! people need quality health care! expand the hospital and purchase new equipment to uplift the standards at the hospital. maybe chiluba would have his (blood work) CD4 counts done in monze. mwaanga can be admitted at monze hospital to save us the tax payers some costs?

  2. may be you need cd4 yourself who told you chiluba needs it. it takes just a little intelligence which you and mmembe obviously lack, to know that the pattern of medical care (based on visitations) chiluba is receiving is very unlikely to be hiv-related. We’ve seen too many people mocking this disease only to die from it later.

  3. Iwe Joe continue living in denial? you are the only person in zed whose not aware. I am not mocking the disease but simply stating the fact. I have seen so many sick people and i know one when i see one? contiune living in denial my friend. many people have lost their lives cause of chiluba’s plundery. if you feel sorry for him go jump in the lake..cheap PF supporter…!Mwaanga is also sick ask around you fool!

  4. Joe..! hiv knows no selection! it does not care whether you are a chiluba supporter or not? former president or not? we are humans,hence we are venerable? i hate the little midget with a passion. our loved ones have lost their lives as they could not afford the expensive therapy that chiluba under goes at our expense and yet we still have losers like yourself that are sympthetic.for plunderers. ifwe tule chuula…you think we are happy? wabe toole?
