Government says it appreciates whenever the private sector initiates projects and business ventures that create employment opportunities and contribute to the development of the country’s economy.
Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services, Reverend Ronnie Shikapwasha, said this at Lusaka’s intercontinental hotel when he officiated at the Kingdom Empowerment fundraising dinner for the construction of an ultra-modern facility.
Rev Shikapwasha said the church should help create an empowering and conducive environment for peace and public private partnerships that help to address the needs of all the Zambian people.
He added that the participation of the church in the National Indaba on the effects of the global economy is very critical in understanding the problems at hand and in providing divine guidance.
And Capital Christian Ministries International president, Bishop George Mbulo said the ultra-modern facility which will include a worship center, a medical hospital, a university and a convention center will help create jobs for many Zambians.
He said the project is in line with government’s initiative to create multi-economic zones.
ZANIS/PC/PK/ENDS.
We can do better if the govt lowers taxes.
Thats true if government can give tax holidays to locals then great stuff can be done
Why are all such developmental projects only done in Lusaka? Is Lusaka the only place which requires development? Are people in Lusaka the only ones who pay tax? Where has Zambia’s major share of GDP come from over the past years? What plans for the Dilapidated infrastructure on the Copperbelt, Northern, Luapula, Southern…to Mention but a few? You had better watch out with the so called developmental programs…Chilatukalipa! Bushe Tukabwela ifwe???
It’s good to see that Govt sees what contribution the private sector is giving to the country. But dont Just appreciate the private sector, do something to help them and spur them up. Not just favoring foreigner at the expense of the local ones who do not extenalise profits. And do something about what the world bank vice president is saying.
Nice data.
On “Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services, Reverend Ronnie Shikapwasha, said this at Lusaka’s intercontinental hotel when he officiated at the Kingdom Empowerment fundraising dinner for the construction of an ultra-modern facility”, when did Lt general R. Shikapwasha become a Reverand?
LOL! I was wondering the same thing. I saw that and had to blink a couple of times.
