President Edgar Lungu has officially commissioned works for the rehabilitation of the Solwezi- Chingola road with a caution against shoddy works.

President Lungu has warned the contractor that his government will not accept substandard works.The Head of State said government will spend over K1 billion on the road and wants the project to be completed within the stipulated 24 months.

President Lungu says he is excited that his administration has fulfilled its promise of rehabilitating the Solwezi- Chingola road.

The President said despite the road being an important link to Zambia, it has remained poor for a long time.

And President Lungu has also urged RDA to supervise the works diligently to avoid poor workmanship.

  1. Keep on working hard there president Lungu to shame the devil-HH!!he cheated them before 20/01/2015 that PF only cares for bembaland now your good works and appointments have put tribal HH in an awkward position before 2016 elections!!am pretty sure that next year PF will get more votes from there bcoz HH do not own North Westerners or Westerners!!just leave HH with Southerners only!!KEEP ON WORKING HARD THERE SIR BCOZ YOUR TRADITIONAL STRONGHOLDS ARE VERY INTACT AND WE ARE MORE THAN READY TO VOTE FOR PF IN 2016 AND BEYOND!!KACHEMA CAN HUNG!!!

    • @ eddy,

      Your intense hatred for HH will drive you to a mental asylum. Why do you hate the man so much? For your information, the man is already rich and he is not like these kaponyas who become rich after becoming ministers. Who told you that people in Western province and North-Western Province can be bought by PF after grading township dusty roads by the GRZ? Just like you cannot turn your back on your rlative ECL the majority of the people in WP and NWP will never abandon their cousin HH.

  2. Let the PF just work.If the works are just because of HH then we have a problem.We are Zambians who deserve better whether under HE Lungu or HH or any other President

  3. Ifintu ni lungu, his next job is to PARDON me next week when I visit Zed which will be my 1st in 20 years. I left after skipping court appearance. had stolen a bull doze from …..

  4. 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…
