Government has purchased one hundred hearses to enable communities access affordable transport during funerals.
The hearses have been distributed to local councils country wide.
Local government minister, Sylvia Masebo, disclosed this in Livingstone on Monday when she handed over multi-purpose boats to 16 councils.
The boats are valued at 3.9 billion Kwacha.
She said the multi-purpose boats will also enable local authorities to monitor various development projects in areas only accessible by water.
Ms. Masebo said the boats will also alleviate transport problems during natural disasters, such as floods.
She however cautioned Zambians especially in opposition political parties not to view the distribution of the boats to local authorities as a campaign strategy.
She said government projects must continue even during an election.
The boats have been given to Livingstone, Mongu, Siavonga, Gwembe, Sinazongwe, Kafue and Senanga districts.
Others are Kazungula, Kalabo, Zambezi, Samfya, Mpulungu, Kabompo, Sesheke, Chilubi and Luangwa Councils.

Meanwhile, there were riots in Livingstone this morning. UPND cadres have impounded a truck suspected to be carrying extra ballot papers. Katwishi eko tuleya!!!!!

PF is full of mediocre characters.The world watched in awe when one presidential candidate arrived at the nominations at the high court in a rented speedboat as his supporters paddled in the air!

Me Am Surprised where the money has come from to implement all this projects in short time….a sign that Zambia has got money but misplaced priorities has always overtaken our leaders!!!!
#14 you have dumped Masebo out of campaign team.SHE has resorted to PAbwatooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Nice boarts heyeee
21, Yes we have heard about the truck impounded in Livingstone- you will be shocked there are no ballot papers as you dream on, come on face it, you think the whole govt can be so naive as to bring in the rigging stuff like that, get a life!
Please Zambians listen to my advice these guys are just cheating us.
no.21 we are not chaps. so tell us more are they ballot papers or what? we want to know. MMD we will not be blinded by your offers all we want is change. Ifwe ni pakuboko chabe, pa lyansa,mu chikasa,pa kwanja chabe
They are confused. Now they are even distributing Bwato to councils, why not give them clocks. Thanks for appreciating that bwato is need.
Masebo is PF you dont know? Thats the reason why she is bringing ma bwato aaya… VOTE PF bane, ….. wapya uuyooooooooo
MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA MMD BOMA

Masebo has realised that its time join the PF, thats why she is distributing boats instead of clocks.
can someone confirm the incident in livingstone involving a truck that is impounded.
Ni pabwatooooooooooooooooo
no.38 if you are happy with mmd sorry zambians no longer trust MMD. its simple and straight forward. just say you have enjoyed for 17 yrs now its the time for the opposition to carry on with the work which the mmd has failed us.
FOOOOOOOOOLS WILL SUPORT SAAAAAAAAATAAAAAAAAAANAAAAAAAAAAA.
#40 – I am Zambian and I am happy with MMD. Don’t speak for Zambians, speak for yourself. This is a democracy.
Secondly, please note that u have a right of choice. Make up your mind on your beliefs. Don’t just follow the small crowd in front of you and u think the whole Zambia believes it that way.
It is no wonder you have had such a had time in times of plenty. In the unlikely event that PF wins, u will be in more problems than u r right now. The economy as u know it will be dead.
#42, save those opnions to yourself, you as MMD have revamped the economy only on papers, how many people are suffering or enjoying from your policies………..what problems????????? r we enjoying or in pleasure
#40 – The success u see in PF(Sata) is not bcoz he(Sata) is such a good man, it is more bcoz of him having a very good ability of bringing down others while hiding behind insults, hooliganism, violence and whining.
U seem to be a nice person but very misinformed. Sit back and analyse for yourself. What do u know? What happened? Why are u following the canoe? Dig deep and understand. Otherwise u will regret u ever supported your canoe.
RB is the better candidate, now. HH would be the best, really. GM would be Godsend. Vote wisely.

#43 – Somehow I see and feel that economy on paper. I see a lot of construction. I see a lot more shopping malls open now and are all filled with people seriously shopping – I mean, not buying mealie meal but shopping for chocolate, sweets, mineral water, stuff u only used to dream about. I see cars, a lot of cars, latest hummers, beamers, latest dude (oh! Dodge Nitro, RAM). I see seriously awesome buses, the best in the world. If you have no money, we do. I see a lot of activity on the CB. Little hardworking chaps with loads of money. I can see that. I can see marketeers at Soweto with so much money u’d screem. This is reality. In Zambia. And I’m a marketeer. I sell tomatoes.
Insansa kuchinjana! It was UNIP, then MMD and now it’s PF. Whether you like it or not, PF is carrying the day come 30th October 2008. RB can distribute all the sugars, the boats, the monies and whatever the MMD Campaign Team can think of, PF is winning with a landslide victory. Pabwato, mwa mukolo!!!
Namayo, have been to Shan’gombo, Kalabo and other remotest parts of Zambia? Zambia is not only Lusaka and CB. What ‘s happening in Lusaka and parts of Copperbelt should reflect everywhere in Zambia thats when you can proudly say MMD has achieved. Let’s all enjoy the national cake not only ‘those’… I pity your analysis of Zambia’s development.
The power of the Boat. Veryu timely indeed. People get into those boats and sail with us to the other side. Pa bwato bane, pa bwato.
So MMD can actually perform wonders. The timing is wrong Madam Masebo. 17 years of MMD
