“The process of selecting people to live in the houses is underway. We should be able to relocate within this year.” Dr. Hamukale said.

The Minister further disclosed that the toll gate along the high way in Choma has been completed and is awaiting certification by engineers.

He has since assured Choma residents that two thirds of the jobs created will be given to the locals.

Meanwhile, Dr. Hamukale has assured road users on the Mazabuka-Turn Pike road that the road is receiving attention.

He noted that works had stalled due to the rainy season and further urged motorists to exercise patience as the contractor, Inyatsi is already on site.

“We are aware of the regional importance of this road and therefore, our long term plan is to construct a dual carriage way.” The Minister disclosed.
