The exercise of painting shops in Lusaka’s trading areas starts next week.
Lusaka City Council (LCC) spokesperson Henry Kapata says the painting exercise will commence despite the delay by the business community to come up with the uniform colour.
Mr Kapata urged the shop owners in the city center and Kamwala trading and other business centres to organize themselves in readiness for exercise.
He further said the uniform colour is not a problem but shops are to be painted with effect from next week.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka yesterday Mr Kapata further said that the three car washes along Burma Road were given permit by the council to construct temporary structures.
However, Mr Kapata said the car washes along Chilimbulu road operate illegally.
Mr Kapata said the area along the roads is meant for road expansion and not construction of permanent structures like car washes.
And Mr Kapata further said that the council will next week carry out inspection of fire equipment in the city center starting with the Kamwala shopping mail.
He added that each shop owner should have their own fire equipment and not borrowing.
Mr Kapata said that the shop owners should be sincere with their dealings as they are the ones who suffer loss in terms of fire accidents.
He observed that people think the council is corrupt, adding that shop owners borrow fire equipment so as to be issued with fire certificates.
But what colour?
Not just painting, demolish those old ugly structures in Kamwala and and town centre as well.

Its about time someone realized what a difference paint makes! Please just not orange or green, plain white!
Maybe the shops will be painted in what was previously known as “Luo” blue but has now come to be fondly called “MMD” blue. What difference? Same paint
Painting shouldnt be a problem but painting every shop in one color wouldn’t do for me. am out
OK, let them go ahead and paint…and don’t forget to paint inside aswell. I also hope they use red to match with the red soil of Chilenje, Libala and Kabulonga areas.
very soon we will hear that all the houses in lusaka ar to be painted.
i know that this guy seems radical but i am beginning to like him. town looked much presentable early this week, how i wish it continued in the same spirit. but one thing though, they should fine a lasting solution to the traders ans not just throw them out as though we were in some of dictatorship olo chani uko ….
