Vice president Inonge Wina has summoned Nyola Investment a local contractor engaged to construct the Shiwangandu civic centre.
Mrs Wina who toured the site says it is unfortunate that the local contractor has not performed to expectations since 2014.
She says the construction of various infrastructures started at the same time in 2014 yet other contractors have made significant progress.
The vice president says it is disappointing to see local contractors fail to perform when the government is keen to empower them with contracts.
And Shiwang’andu Member of Parliament Stephen Kampyongo said the contractor’s attitude in executing the project clearly shows that he is not serious after government entrusted him with the project.
The member of parliament who is also Minister of Home Affairs said he will pursue the issue promptly because the contractor was given funds but has failed to perform.
Earlier Mrs Wina paid a courtesy call on Shiwang’andu district commissioner Evelyn Kangwa where she expressed happiness that the district managed to contain the invasion of army worms.
You don’t pay them. Kambwili was complaining about the same thing. You give someone a contract but you don’t pay your % of upront funds.
Laziness in zambia. First of all contractor should not be paid upfront. Each business should have enough capital to carry out works. Here in Australia i work for a construction company and in no way do we get upfront money from government contracts. We even issue bank guarantee for government works and not the other way round. So bwana GRZ please issue contracts to contractors with enough liquid capital.
This fossil of a lady is still alive ? I thought she had packed up. She doesn’t give any motivation at all. I belive she was picked deliberately by lungu in order for him to further increase his grip on power. The best way to do it is to have a docile deputy who will never grow the balls to challenge you
Dude! Wishing someone dead and speaking ill of someone is more of a reflection of your decayed mental state.
You’re clearly not happy to see the PF in power. That UPND logo you have simply shows that your opinion are biased.
I’m no internet troll. I just call a spade a spade. Typical attitude of crabs in a bucket. Pulling people down when you see them go up. This woman has no alterior motives.
Have some respect!
The contractor was Not selected on merit so u can see the results. Whats the point of summoning the contractor when the govt has failed to pay it. This fossil does not understand how contracts work. Inonge Wina better retire b4 she is indicted to ICC. She is working with outright Criminals and therefore has also become a Criminal. Birds of the same feathers flock together.
And the contractor on Luangwa Bridge road or Maamba road?
First step is education. You need to educate people. Without education it does not matter how much empowerment or preferential treatment is given to an individual, look at SA, USA, UK, Jamaica, Brazil, Zimbabwe. People can live in developed places, but still fail to achieve even the very minimum of achievements. They only know how to rob and kill each other. No shortcut!!
Ignore this toothless senile woman…has she checked if the contractor is paid promptly!!
People must learn to respect one another, this lady is doing her duties I find it absurd for someone to start shouting obscene words at her .
It is not our tradition as Africans to wish someone death , how would you feel if she was your mother or relative.
If we don’t have anything to say we keep quiet.
Your honour, please also summon Zesco, we don’t have power in Kabangwe since 9hrs in the morning and it’s going to 19hrs now. The inefficiency at this organisation is appalling
Since 2014? Wow. That was quick
What were the local and provincial authorities doing. Why should it be the VP to observe this anomaly? Answer ..money was shared among these people which resulted in shutting their big mouths.
