Meanwhile, Kankolonkola clinic in chief Inguleka area has been operating without either hydro or solar energy for over three years.
This come to light light when Mr. pande visited the Clinic yesterday.
Clinical officer in-charge Lickswell Phiri told Mr. Pande and his entourage that though the staffing level is adequate and the supply of drugs effective, the clinic has been operating without electricity for a long time.
Mr. Phiri said the clinic which has a catchment population of over 6,000 has been doing delivery works using candles.
Mr Pande who also toured the Kankilonkolo Police Post, pledged to liaise with the Ministry of Home Affairs to see what can be done to alleviate the hardship the officers were facing especially that of non availability of water and transport.
He said it is government’s plans to improve the living conditions of police officers where ever they may be.
Bwana Minister, sort those public workers promptly. They indeed deserve improved living conditions. Kankilonkolo & Kankolonkola, just the names themselves can tell that nidyoli. Therefore, non availability of water and transport even makes the situation worse. Otherwise, soon they will start advancing reasons after reasons in a bid to flee the area.
Mr.Minister don’t just end up here.We know you guys very well just by commenting it means you have worked.Silly behaviour.
The levels of poverty in our country are not so much the result of lack of money but so much about lack of priority and shameless selfishness by most of our leaders.In a country that has been independent since 1964 and has never experienced war, we should be ashamed to share the same problems with countries emerging out of civil strife where such problems as these above are not only common but understandable.Zambians must change and demand more accountabilty from there leaders.Hon Pandes car was probably more costly than it would cost to put those clinics into shape!What a shame on my Zed!Demand standards bantus or keep living like prehistoric sapiens.
