And Mr Mwale has praised Kazungula council for being up to date with workers’ salaries.
The Minister said this in Kazungula when he officially opened a 3-million Kwacha Kazungula Council Lodge which is projected will make a 6-hundred thousand kwacha profit annually for the local authority.
Mr Mwale says councils should reduce dependency on central government through initiatives like the lodge for the Kazungula council which was built with funds from the Local Government Equalisation Fund and locally sourced resources.
And Kazungula Council Chairperson, Eason Musokotwane said the council intends to expand the lodge facility to include more rooms and a swimming pool.
Mr. Musokotwane said the council remains committed to developing and improving the delivery of services in the district.
