Kasempa District will soon embark on a multi billion housing units construction programme to alleviate the accommodation problems being faced in the fast growing district.
Over K12 billion and K7 billion will be pumped in construction of housing units for police officers and rental houses respectively.
This came to light today when Kasempa Area Member of Parliament Kabinga Pande met Heads of Government Departments in the district.
Mr. Pande, who was responding to concerns by some Heads of Departments over the non-availability of accommodation in the district, said he shared the same concern but added that efforts were being made to solve this problem.
Mr. Pande, who is also Foreign Affairs Minister, revealed that the site for the construction of police houses under the Ministry of Home Affairs has already been identified and that construction works should start by next year.
He noted that as Area MP, he was also concerned over the accommodation difficulties being faced by the police saying they too will soon benefit from the 1,500 housing units project under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
“Right now we have no police camp in Kasempa but come next year we shall start building and I am pushing for that,” assured Mr. Pande.
And Ministry of Works and Supply Building Department Supervisor Victor Nkhoma said all paper work has been handed over to the Ministry of Home Affairs for the construction of Houses for police officers.
“In fact we were supposed to start building the first 45 houses this year, everything has been worked on, its just that the tender has not yet been done and funding not released”, explained Mr. Nkhoma.
He further explained that the bill of quantities by the district estimated that about K7 billion would be required for this project.
And Kasempa District Council Acting Director of Works, Dennis Fulayi said K12.7 billion is estimated to be required for the construction of 100 housing units under the council programme.
Mr. Fulayi said unless costs change due to increase in construction material, the K12.7 billion will be enough to construct the 100 housing units.
Mr. Pande is in the district to check on developmental projects in the area.

Those Kaonde’s have swallowed it hook, line and sinker. Not a single unit will be built after the elections. Keep your ears and/or eyes open. The people in North-Western are the easiest to cheat. Remember how Kaunda lied to them for 27 years about the Mutanda-Chavuma Road. They always fell for his lies including his crocodile tears and always gave him a resounding “yes” vote. Since RB is a Kaunda-man he is using his master’s old tricks.
Witha name like patel that means you are shopkeeper and definately irrevant to society.
Its people Zed people are so kind they have given you so much room to clown arround.
Can you smell a rat somewhere in Kasempa?
My dear clleagues, by now you should know when someone is trying to wind you up. Thats exactly what this arafat patel is trying to do. Just ignore his comments and he’ll soon fade away into oblivion from whence he came from
we also don’t have a police camp in western province. why isn’t any deelopment taking place there? Mulu toyile ahulu malozi linja tuni muka bona we won’t vote for you!!
#11 oops! ‘development’
Princess, London i like baby and i ve just noticed u even smart.So True lets forget this patel.
This development is very much wellcome. But let me worn you that you shouldn’t just be talking for the sake of Elections and after Elections, you abandon the projects.
This has to be implemented without fail
Duh…… and the statement just happened to be made a few weeks before elections.
Not again just campaigning!! Where are women in zambia. we want change. these men are taking us for granted. cheat6ing us always. i will do this and that iyayi. muntu siazankale so.
Wre ar my coments ba lt
Campaign gimmicks or not, I am glad at the opportunity for the Zambian people to benefit from their various projects. Boma, keep ’em coming!
It is very clear the gentleman called Kabinga was just speaking from without. Lies lies lies
Honestly impiya shama projects shafuma kwisa guys. Those kapolis are not even ashamed are they?
This is a very good reason to kick them out.
Miss the boat and we are doomed. I can only see salary icreaments after 1 November.
Ubwato.
It is sad that we have reached a point where we can’t trust politicians with anything they say, for sure govt work should continue while elections campaigns are ongoing. I dont really care as long as development is brought to the ville, we shall take. Zambia is a great nation indeeed and the people are the reason we are proud to be Zambian. Good luck to all candidates.
just cozy their are election you start cheating people so that you can rob votes from them.dont listern to them,if you want that vote for sata man of action and displin and corruption free.
ulebepa iwe ala..tell the pipo icishika
Y cant RB talk abount what he can do not wat LPM (MHSRIP) had planned to do. Its like this old man has exosted all his visions of his life. To me he his campainging using LPMs coffin on his shouders. Lets do clean campaigns to avoide court expenses after elections. Its now getting on the nerves
IWE CHI TALIB.NO VOTE FOR YOUR SATANIST AND RBNIST.KUYABELELE.VOTE FOR YOUR FELLOW YOUNGMAN HH.VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,PLOT ONE,NO DOULT ABOUT IT.GOD BLESS ZAMBIA
