Home Affairs Minister, Kalombo Mwansa, yesterday made an on-the-spot check on the on going construction of houses for police officers in Livingstone’s old Tandabale market situated in Maramba.
Speaking shortly after inspecting the housing project, which has reached an advanced stage, Mr. Mwansa said he was impressed with the works done so far.
He commended the contractor of the project for constructing good houses which he said were of high standard and good quality.
The minister, however, said there was need to finish up the project on time so that the 68 houses under construction can be handed over to government in order for police officers to move in immediately.
Earlier, site supervisor, Samuel Willima, assured the minister that the houses would soon be completed, but was not in a position to give a specific time frame.
The minister, who is in the Southern Province on official duty, also toured the Livingstone Central Prisons before he proceeded to Katombora Reformatory School in Kazungula district.

Police officers definitely deserve better housing and such projects should be on going country wide.
Not very bad houses, there is no enough space to have a garden etc.
Nevertheless these guys need decent accommodation, because others are still lodging in the old Kazungula District Council offices.
