MINISTER of Works and Supply Yanfwa Mukanga says he will next week meet officials from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to discuss ways of improving road network interconnections between the countries.
Mr Mukanga said some of the connections that will be discussed include the Pedicle Road and other connections on the Luapula River.
“There are a lot of interconnections. People pass through the Mokambo, Kashiba and Sakanya borders,’’ he said.
Mr Mukanga said the meeting will focus on interconnections that are of concern to Zambia.
“I am going to the DRC to discuss interconnections. We want to find out why officials from that country were charging US$50 to people transiting through the Pedicle Road,” he said.
Mr Mukanga said there is a joint permanent commission formed by the two countries that meets when new decisions are made by either country.
Meanwhile, Mr Mukanga said most of the roads in Zambia have been constructed.
“Come next year, 90 percent of the roads will be done. Most of the contractors are doing a commendable job,’’ Mr Mukanga said.
