The street lighting project which was unveiled last week by Local Government Deputy Minister Crispin Musosha at a colourful ceremony held at Nakonde council rest house has finally taken off.
Nakonde district council secretary Francis Nkhoma said the project which will gobble over K500 million on completion kicked off yesterday and phase one of the project would be completed before the end of January, 2009.
Mr. Nkhoma said phase one of the street lighting project will cover two kilometres stretching from the Zambia Revenue Authority [ZRA] customs yard to the civic centre.
Mr. Nkhoma said his council has so far purchased materials worth over K141 million and these include 36 steel poles, cables, fittings and lights.
He said other works remaining which will cost K75 million include photo cells, transformer, starter panel and other accessories.
Mr. Musosha, who unveiled the prestigious project which would add to the beauty of the town upon completion, announced that the government had channelled K50 million towards the street lighting project in Nakonde.
Mr. Musosha, who commended the local authority for embarking on the project, said the district had the capacity to become a municipal by 2015.
The vision of Nakonde district council is become a municipal council by 2015 and projects such as street lighting is one of the bench marks.

It is now 2008 almost 2009 what a shame we have a long way to go.There to many dark places in Zambia.
Good news. My only fear is that the vandals are rubbing their hands in gleeful anticipation. The council should do all it can to prevent and deter vandalism by Nakonde yobs.
