A United Party for National Development (UPND) Councilor has commended government for commencing the programme of electrifying rural communities in Sinazongwe district.
Malima Ward Councilor, Fisher Zimana, said in an interview that the electrification programme would fulfill government’s promise of lighting up rural communities which were displaced during the construction of Lake Kariba many decades ago.
Mr Zimana said people in the district were happy because they have for a long time now, waited for government to provide electricity to the rural areas.
He said the rural electrification programme should be extended to Malima area up to Chiyabi to boost the economic activities of the local people.
Mr Zimana said electricity would also attract investors to the area, adding that Malima ward was set to develop since most people in the area grew a lot of cotton in the district.
Meanwhile, Mr. Zimana also disclosed that people in the area were happy with the rehabilitation of the Bottom road from Sinazeze to Chabbobboma in Gwembe district.
He also appealed to government to find a contractor to rehabilitate major bridges on the same road since the Road Construction Company (RCC) that was working on the road did not work on the bridges because they were not part of the contract.

Electrification of rural and remote areas is most welcome.
Dont praise them. Thats their job ala !
Very mature UPND councilor.
Is LT becoming a mouth piece of the MMD? Look at all the headlines.
No# 4 Chitapankwa, it is because they are the ones with the majority of power in government and the opposition is asleep. I do criticise the MMD government, but I am opening a can on the opposition as of today. We need to fire ammo towards them too. They are in opposition to better our lives, not only to pretend so as to keep MP positions, you all do know they get paid to be MP’s right? This is good for there are times to give credit where credit is due. Chitapankwa that name brought back great memories from when education existed in the time of innocent children,remember the 80’s and early 90’s? You are right though there are too many MMD stories.
Great job UPND and continue doing what is best for all Zambians. There can only be one GRZ at a time and working with it is noble.
On “He also appealed to government to find a contractor to rehabilitate major bridges on the same road since the Road Construction Company (RCC) that was working on the road did not work on the bridges because they were not part of the contract.“, this is a good plea and I hope GRZ will seriously look into it for the benefit of the people there.
