Central Province has received two New Caterpillar Motor Graders worth K3 billion under the Rural Roads Unit.
The graders will be used to grade feeder roads in the rural parts of the province.ZANIS reports from Kabwe that Central province Permanent Secretary Annie Sinyangwe said it is pleasing to note that the province is the first in the country to receive such equipment.Mrs Sinyangwe added that such gesture is value addition aimed at improving the province’s road development.
She said the training for the equipment operators, which will be conducted by the suppliers of the Graders, will soon commence, and that the province has already identified people to be trained.
Barloworld Equipment Zambia limited handed over the two new caterpillar motor graders to the province yesterday.And speaking during the hand- over of the equipment, Barloworld Equipment Zambia Limited Sales Manager Jeff Sichali assured the province that the equipment is durable with a warrant of 12 months guarantee.
In another development, Mrs Sinyangwe has toured some Kabwe district developmental projects.Among them included the road network rehabilitation undertaken by Asphalt Roads Zambia Limited.The Permanent Secretary is optimistic that with such development, local people will be considered for employment.
Asphalt Roads Zambia limited Site Agent Jared Musonda said currently the company has only engaged four local people.Mr Musonda added that more people would be engaged once works progress.Asphalt Roads Zambia limited recently launched a 34- kilometre road construction works for Kabwe and Kapiri-Mposhi urban.
PF at Work! They do not wait for a by-election to construct roads like what we had in the previous regime. Keep it up guys
Barlow world handouts at work !!!! Just call it what it is. Don’t try to fool the people !!!
PF at work.
Handouts from Barlow World at work here, and get it twisted !!!! We can read !!!
Please work on the Nkrumah
University road….
This is good for Zambia. But though construction of roads is one thing, maintaining them (there after) is another. We shall wait and see…
LT put you facts correct. The permanent secretary is not mrs sinyangwe. you are mixing the her first name with the sir name of her deputy-
sorry meant to write put your facts straight.
LT am sorry. It has just come to my attention that she is also a sinyangwe(mrs). sorry indeed.
The PF government must be commended for initiating this development.Kabwe roads have been so bad and going into another rain season with any rehabilitation would have been disastrous for motorists.
I only hope that the contractors will , first and foremost , do a good job and secondly that they will stick to the stipulated time.
What mmd failed to do in many years is being done in one year, this is good
Sorry PF cadre, but these are the projects and roads that the MMD left, its like re inventing the wheel
And the hefty $3b in reserves left by MMD is way down and the economy slowing.What MMD painstakingly achieved has been undone by PF in one yr.Sad that you’re happy about rds while being robbed of the bigger pie.
just for the information of those outside kabwe, these guys are just burying the old road with gravel, only go know what will happen to them(road)
