Government is constructing a new high school in Kaoma district in the Western Province.
And Government has embarked on a rehabilitation exercise of dilapidated feeder roads and several other developmental projects in the district.
MMD Kaoma Central Member of Parliament (MP) Austin Liato who confirmed this to ZANIS in an interview thanked Government for releasing the funds towards the new school and road infrastructure development.
Mr. Liato named the new school as Kehema High school. This brings the number of high schools in the area to two. He named the other school as Kaoma High school which was the first to be built in the 1950s.
The MP said the two learning institutions would help reduce illiteracy levels in Kaoma district and urged parents in his area to take advantage of the schools by sending their children there.
Mr. Liato, who is also Labour and Social Security Services Minister, expressed happiness that Zambia is on track to attaining the United Nations (UN) 2015 Millennium Development Goal number two in the education sector.
He commended the Ministry of Education for bringing education closer to the people as evidenced by the number of new schools being constructed alongside rehabilitation of old ones to improve the learning environment especially in rural areas.
The Minister said Government is in a hurry to develop and improve the education sector to make it more conducive for learners.
Mr. Liato named feeder roads being rehabilitated as Kangolongolo, Kashamu Kaolombe and Mipongo.
He said a good road network is vital to accelerating development.

This is good news
Great news Austin! It shows that RB has made infrastructure development his #1 priority. I prefer reading such positive news instead of the daily hate & negativity which emanates from the PF & their vuvuzela! On a different note Austin, you might want to consider enrolling at a nearby gym? At the rate you’re going, you’ll be resembling GBM not long from now!
The man in trhat picture is not FIT
He looks unhealthy, what happened to a flat stomach
That is worrying, uneducation if you ask me
Thanks
Great news Austin! but my brotherly advise to you is that try to engange in some exercise in order to trim your volume. Otherwise you are working hard in your constituency. Infact the two of you in the picture former Zesco employees. coincident !
Mushota wats wrong hav u seen in this man for been not fit? He is just announcing to his people the development has brought to his constituency.
How fat are the people from his constituency, clearly from his looks, the cake is not being shared equally.

Hope this done as an election bribe or in response the BA64 issues.
Good Job Mr. MP that is what we want to hear.
Liato, you need to inform the people of Kaoma when the railway line project that will pass through Kaoma from NWP will start.
These are people full of corruption NOT FTJ his stomach can tell , but FTJ was president for 10yrs and never grew kalufumo.
I love chinese investment, thus why our MPs have fat pockets, i will next in Katele’s Constituency
Kehema or Nkeyema? There is some high and a basic school over there by that name in TBZ just after Tateyoyo check point. This aint a new school. This must just be some extensions. Lips service..why not go construct a NEW school in Kalumwange, Ikunikila or Mwangalesha?
Mr. MP Austin, Why do you want to cheat. Which school are you constructing in Kehema after all it is not Kehema it is Nkeyema the school was there even the time when you were at Mulamatela primary Nkeyema existed. Construct one in Mulalila. Your tummy can tell that you are not sharing equally. Thanks for the small change in Kaoma. We need a change.
