Share

Government  has released 8 billion Kwacha for the construction of a secondary school and six basic schools in Masaiti District.

District Commissioner Joyce Nsamba confirmed to ZANIS in Kitwe today, adding that construction work had already began.

Ms. Nsamba further said Government is also repairing the Munkulungwe Bridge which was washed away during the last rainy season.She said that the contractor engaged was doing a commendable job.

She said out of the 40 boreholes earmarked for drilling in the district, 10 have already been sunk.

Ms Nsamba added that the rehabilitation of feeder roads in the district would soon begin, following the despatch of earth moving equipment machinery from the office of the Copperbelt Permanent Secretary.

She said the roads to be rehabilitated include Ndola-Masati via Commando Unit to Munkolwe, Kamipungo, Katote and Kafulafuta.

  1. These are just Lies, and they will never implement it. The Govt is just announcing this for the sake of the compaign

  2. wait aminute here , politics aside , is it 8billion for 7 schools and 7 billion for a single house in lusaka . god help us

  3. Zambia is a rich country. NCC should consider reducing the tenure of office of the president, say 2 years. Then we would have alot of development every 2 years rather than every 5 years. At a 2 year development rate, we would be greater than the so called great britain.

  4. That is what we expect from the gorvernment rather than transforming Basic Schools to High Schools,High Schools to Colleges and Colleges to University Colleges.We have enough land were we can build these learning institutions but let not these be implemented during election periods.Vote Michael Chilufya Sata for president of the republic of Zambia for more of these,pa bwatooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  5. # 6 thats true am sure we have alot of money why dont they do this when there is no election. we hope they shall implement these projects so that whoever comes into power shall continue. Zambia will soon develop because after 30 Oct 2008 there will be 2011 everyone will be working towards that.

  6. HH will hit these foregrandfather on the 30th October 2008. Yes, they both have been in politics for over 40 years while HH just 2 years, but the result will shock and send both grandfather into serious hearts attack at the time results will start coming from the Easten, Central, Northwestrn, Western and Lusaka Provinces. There is no Levy to order an evacuation to South Africa, someone may may cry. VIVA HH and VIVA UPND

  7. The Boat is the way forward, these people are just talking for the sake of Oct 30. LPM who preached against corruption didnt manage what about these corrupt chaps they are just laying. These are the last kicks of a dying horse.

  8. Ref to 14, RB is only feeling HH’s hitin a larger partion than Sata. RB is facing the heat of HH in the Eastern, Central, Western, Northwestern CB rural and Lusaka provinces. whereever RB and the MMD goes they find HH structure on the ground coupled with good agriculture policy HH is headed for victory. VIVA HH and the PIPO of Zambia

  9. K8 billion for 7 schools and K7 billion for one house. I wonder what sort of buildings these will be. WE need modern school infrastructure as well. Just as to what has been done to KK’s House. Come on Zambians, we need rael change.

  10. Nibwanji kuchosa mahafu zinontau,where have they been ,its in they been ,ni nkani ya Sugar futi.at that age his corruption will go with him to the grave.u wakalema taleka bane.VOTE WISE VOTE WISE

  11. go GO RB. SATA’s political carear has been a miscarriege always on the wrong side of the fence. THIRD TERM, NAKAWALA, 2yr PRISON TERM, TAIWAN INSTEAD OF CHINA, MUGABE FOR INAUGURATION CEREMONY. WHAT A MAN. anyway there are a lot of benefits in being an opposition leader, attnding state functions and donor aid SATA must have gotten the trick from CHAMA CHAKOMBOKA and KEN NGONDO now MIYANDA has also joined the game.

  16. Waah the dribbling of Chiluba continues, you have the timing all wrong, this is an election time do it silently than blowing the trumpet, for what? You are enticing the voters naimwe ba RB.

  17. I do agree with #17 we need modern buildings for schools not like the school we are seeing on the picture above.A school with international standard, in looking as well as its education.I do know Zambia’s education is very good.What we need are beautiful infrastuture not just as long as something is built.
    Vote wisely Vote PABWATO,PRESIDENT MICHAEL CHILUFYA SATA. He is the man those of you who have seen central park (farmers house) in Lusaka, you will agree with me Sata did a good job. And that is what we are all looking forward too.

  18. the nigga in the boat is a joker together with his immediate followers.scrutinise analysis his speeches all jokes and trash vote wisely on 30th

  19. #24,spiritualy i c coruption at its best.sum1 is jst ‘acting’ $ oredy he is isuing brown envelopes to pipo so that he is voted into power.am voting pf,bt i dnt mind even if hh wins coz all wat is needed is to change the govt for beta…..we are tired of load shedding,we tired of the economy jst getting beta theoritically and not practicaly,jst to mention bt a few…..

  20. I STRONGLY SUSPECT THAT THE NEXT 3 YEARS WILL BE FULL OF FAST DEVELOPMENT COZ OF THE HUNGER FOR POWER. WHY DO THEY RELAX WHEN THEY HAVE YEARS AHEAD AND PANIC IN THE LAST MINUTE. I THINK IF THESE GUYS EVER SAT FOR G12 EXAMS THEY WOULD FLANK COZ OF POOR PREPARATION.

    PROPER PREPARATION PREVENTS POOR PERFORMANCE

  21. Guys I did say, that is there any chance we can have elections every year? May be they are what we need to develop.

    My God! What elections can do!

  22. #36 Muli bapuba. That language is just not acceptable. You watch a lot of films/DVDs that is why. Typical African boy.

  23. Lets have standard school not cheap one. The governement should adopt one plan for all schools to be built. I hope the new Schools will have sports halls as well.

  24. #16, good point.
