Government through the Rural Roads Unit has commenced rehabilitation works on feeder roads in Kafue district.
District Commissioner Winford Ngoma disclosed the development to ZANIS in Kafue today.
He said K800 million has been released for the works out of the budgeted K1.7 billon set aside in the National budget.
Mr. Ngoma said the graders and other road equipment are already in the district and works were currently on-going in Chilanga constituency.
He said the graders have started with the Makeni-Chilongolo and China- Zambia roads.
Mr. Ngoma said the RRU in conjunction with his office has put in place a plan that will ensure that all roads in the district which are supposed to be rehabilitated are worked on.
He said it was unfortunate that last year’s programme did not work accordingly but expressed optimism that roads in the district will have a face lift after the grading.
And Lusaka Province Rural Roads Unit Engineer Ernest Nshindano said his team will work hard so that all the works on feeder roads are completed within two months.
He said all the earth moving road equipment was in Kafue district and will only move out once all works are completed.
Mr. Nshindano said his office together with that of the District Commissioner will vigorously monitor the road works so that no shoddy job is carried out.
He said once they finish with Kafue, the unit will then move to other districts in Lusaka province.
ZANIS
Good job to work on the roads. During KK’s time in the 1970s, such roads were being worked on constantly. But what is this China-Zambia Road? What is so special about this road?
Good RB your govt is working. Hope the blind will see, the death hear, the lame walk. Those doubting believe. You are a blessed man please take the country forward. Put monitoring mechanism in place those opposing are doing shoddy work to discredit you. A winner already. Its not only Kafue its the whole country. Its not possible to develop everything at once….
