Government has allocated K500 million from the land Development fund through the Ministry of Local Government and Housing for the construction of 100 council houses in Luangwa district.
Lusaka Provincial Minister Charles Shawa disclosed in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka that the council has already secured land for the houses which would range from low to high cost.
 The Provincial Minister who is also Luangwa Member of Parliament (MP) said the lack of accommodation for officers has been a challenge in the district hence the need to build the houses.
Mr Shawa stressed that government is committed to ensure that the lives of civil servants in the district are made better with proper accommodation.
He further disclosed that  government would in  the 2010  National  Budget allocate K2billion for  building  of new National Registration  and Pass Port  offices  in his district.
