Govt will be held responsible – Kashikishi residents(updated)

Share

Acting Nchelenge District Commissioner Wilson Kasoloko has warned of a disaster in Kashikishi area if the huge gully that has formed on the Queens road was not buried immediately.

Mr. Kasoloko said his office has started receiving threats from Kashikishi residents that government will be held responsible for any catastrophe that might occur as a result
of the gully.

He has  appealed to the Road Development Agency (RDA) to quickly repair the road to reverse a precarious situation laying on the road.

Mr. Kasoloko told ZANIS that his office has since 2006 received several promises from RDA that the gully would be worked but nothing had been done to date.

He said the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU) should consider intervening in the matter before lives were lost.

“ Its seems the RDA has failed to work on the road but  what is painful is that if this road was worked on in 2006,  government  would have just spent a few millions of  Kwacha but because of delays, it will now cost government billions of Kwacha,” Mr. Kasoloko said.

Mr. Kasoloko said several houses and shops near the gully are faced with the risk of either collapsing or being washed away if the road was not worked on urgently.

He said the gully has become a threat to human life especially children living around the area.

The visibly disturbed Mr. Kasoloko said over the years, a number of houses, some of them belonging to government have collapsed as a direct result of the gully.

  16. this is catastrophy blame Government for what? are they the cause
    just ask the gRZ to work it out. these happen at any time any where.

    kashikishi residents should simply ask the gRz as it is GRZ duty to see to it that roads are worked on **==**==**==**==**==

  17. GUYS THIS SITE IS 4 REAL ISSUES; YOU HAVE STARTED BEHAVING LIKE RB WHO HAS RUN OUT OF IDEALS;KASHIKI PROBREM IS A SEARIOUS ONE ; IF IT WAS SALARY INCREMENT THY WOULD HAVE BEEN INTAVIN.RB APONSA FYE KULI SWEET 16.

  18. I agree with #35, MgNaAlg5(Si4O10)3(OH will be easier to refare to as Chemical Ali, back to the issue, Simbao should have remained in his previous potfolio so that he sorts the Kashikishi mess out instead of the nonsense he is trying to introduce in MOH. Ba Moze muli che, Baby C Kafwile kasabula, Keep it up dear, love your comments

  19. These are the issues which are culminating into people calling for demos. How can one even call themselves an MP o9f such a delapidated place like kashikishi, bunda bwa kuifolesha more money, mukakandwa bamakaka

  20. The owners of the shops near the road should also do something. Let them not wait for the government otherwise they may lose their investment if those shops collapse unless they are insured but still sitting idle and waiting for the known disaster to happen does not help them

  21. Even us as Citizens we need to be concerned of those who dig for sand, coz I am sure at one stage people were busy collecting eroded soil as sand.

  22. #45. Jah man Haile,bratha man,wat agwani that side? I’n’I just nyamin herbs for proper purification and hiher meditations Selase hai.Let help each ada to cahnt down this babylonians.

  23. Matworld
    Respect mon. Blow some smoke in the air for I n I brethren. Chant down all dem Zambia politrictian. Bomboclat pan Nyama Soya and all his pack. Big up all them LT bloggers that respect mother Zambia.

  24. What is surprising about government’s inability to act on time. Off course, there will only be serious actions and days of national mourning once the camity has taken place. wait and see.
