Featuring on ZNBC’s Government Forum television programme on Monday evening, Mr Lusambo assured that the province will never the same as the PF government is implementing massive developmental projects in the province.
Mr Lusambo said under the PF government, a massive water project is being implemented in Kafulafuta that will deliver safe and clean drinking water to Ndola, Luanshya and Masaiti.
He said another massive project that will change the face of the Copperbelt is the Ndola International Airport which will transform the province into a regional hug for passenger and cargo transport.
Mr Lusambo said the PF government is also constructing key strategic roads in the Province that will stimulate commerce and trade.
The Copperbelt Minister who is also Kabushi Member of Parliament said the Copperbelt Province has received the bulk of all infrastructure development projects under the PF government.
He said all the major roads under construction such as the Chingola-Solwezi, the Ndola-Kitwe dual carriageway and the Ndola-Mufulira-Mokambo road will be handed over to the government by end of 2018.

Mr Lusambo also announced that the mining houses in the province have agreed to reconstruct the gutted Kapalala Market in Ndola into a modern start of the art market as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility.
By mining houses he means the chinese…name the massive investors in agriculture in mponge , masaiti and lufwanyama. How will commercial agriculture help the small scale farmers on the copperbelt. How did commercial scale farmers obtain large tracts of land..What crops are going to be grown.
Can the minister show us the feasibility study for justification of the building of the ndola airport. How many years to get return on investment , over what period and at what interest rate was the loan to build negotiated,
What are the monthly wages of the workers at the airport project. Thats what we need, not grandstanding statements
PF transforming provinces from better to worse.
The road network in the Kitwe CBD is a sorry sight and you wonder why these guys voting for a party that only cares for the Chinese by giving them police jobs. Such bags of statements have been seen before and all the contained was hot air, no substance.
This bootlicker at it again!!
Show me one mining house on the copperbelt. All I see are club houses and a few paint houses.
Or have I missed the point. Would HH call me ignorant in from of the screens?
That’s true the Copperbelt is going through transformation. It’s transforming from PF to NDC
All you people commenting should tell us your plans for CB or forever hold your shame as opposition puppets.
