President Lungu has commissioned the ugrading of township roads in the North western province.
President Lungu said he wants to improve the lives of people through a good road network that will spur economic development across the country.
Meanwhile, Local Government and Housing deputy minister Danny Chingimbu said government is committed to fighting poverty in the North Western province through construction of township roads in Solwezi, Kasempa, Zambezi and Chavuma districts.
Mr Chingimbu has since appealed to Councils in the North Western province to come up with a proper maintenance schedule for the new roads that will soon be upgraded in their districts.
President Lungu is on a three day working visit in the North Western province.
Let’s share the resources of the nation…….take development to all the corners of this great country,cause we’re One Zambia, One Nation.
Its not possible, we do not have such money in Zambia.
Anybody commissioning anything just call state house…Lazy Lungu will commission anything but will not kickstart the campaign to fight corruption!!
Not once have I seen the president of the United States, the governor of my state, my congress man and the mayor of my city commission the many building and construction projects of schools, hospitals, high ways, inter state high ways and bridges.
Commissioning of township roads and opening of a NATSAVE branch in a small town by the President, yes the Republican President, should alert Zambians to the level of development we expect from PF. If the whole of a President can commission 20 or 30km of road in a town, can we expect him to commission bigger things since he has to commission other roads in over 80 districts? He should let ministers or mayors do some of these things, otherwise he will overwork himself and have no time to plan and run the country. There are much more important issues to attend to like the high cost of living, high school fees which parents can not manage, stunted growth (over 40%) for our under fives, high fuel and zesco prices, low national productivity, high crime rates, broke govt etc.
Just a campaign strategy! Out of so many projects commisioned so far how many are complete?
The more roads Zambia does, the more money from Chinese contractors
2016 campaign has started already. On your marks. Get set, GO!
At least Lungu has visited NWP twice now for whatever reason. Not that orangutan called sata.
Chakolwa, will leave Zedian’s high & dry, as long as he gets a kickback to get his Jameson Whisky.
ZAMBIA IS DEAD UNDER THESE CORRUPT CLOWNS.
This Corrupt Drunk, should not con people.
We can see what hes up to.
As long as it involves Alcohol, & embezzeling of public funds, he will move at super speed.
Jameson Whisky corrupt addict!
PEOPLE OF NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCE SHOULD NOT BE CHEATED WITH THE LAUNCHING OF PROJECTS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN BUDGETED FOR. PRESIDENT LUNGU IS JUST POLITICKING. MANY PROJECTS HAVE STALLED DUE TO LACK OF MONEY. MINISTERS HAVE CONFESSED THAT THERE IS NO MONEY TO COMPLETE THESE PROJECTS. SINCE THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO MONEY, LAST MONTH COULD NOT BE PAID ON TIME, WHERE WILL THEN THE MONEY COME FROM TO START, LET ALONE TO COMPLETE, THE PROJECTS THAT THE PRESIDENT IS LAUNCHING IN NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCE? CAN THE PRESIDENT TELL THE NATION WHERE THE MONEY WILL COME FROM. IN MY VIEW IT IS A TRAP THAT HE IS SETTING FOR HIMSELF BECAUSE COME NEXT YEAR THE PROJECTS WILL REMAIN BEGGING AND PEOPLE WILL FEEL CHEATED AND TURN AGAINST HIM. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, DO NOT ACCUSE THE PEOPLE THERE TO BE TRIBALISTS…
