The government says the Lusaka Decongestion project is a key catalyst to social-economic Development.
Ministry of Local Government Permanent Secretary Ed Chomba says infrastructure being put in place will help people to conduct their business with ease.
He says the multimillion-dollar road expansion project is on time and expected to reduce travel time for people within the capital city.
Bishop Chomba says President Edgar Lungu has directed that the road works resume amidst the Coronavirus outbreak because development should continue despite challenges.
He has however appealed to motorists to be patient as works are ongoing because their movements maybe affected for a short while.
And Bishop Chomba has revealed that about 3-hundred trees have been planted along Nangwenya and Zambezi Roads to replace those being cut.
He said government is planting trees three times as much as those being cut down to mitigate the impact of climate change on the country.
At what cost to the taxpayer? Imagine this selfsame project funded and designed by Indian govt of $250 million our govt only decided to contribute $15 million as down payment when they are spending $40 million on overpriced Fire trucks and millions more on Ambulances. You have cut down trees instead of designing around trees that have been around the 1960s I mean who is going to water these 300 trees you are planting? Have you put a budget aside for this?
Where are the trees that hv been planted on Nangwenya and Zambezi roads? Do they mean they intend to plant trees on these roads? First of all both roads are incomplete. Hw do u plant trees whn there’s still construction equipment to manoeuvre on these roads? Could it be improper reporting by LT ?
Chomba mussatanyoco…
He is responding to Davies Mwila who said ministers who not working won’t be adopted. Hoo sorry, who the fvck nominated that pile of manure Chomba?
Excellent news. Twalumba kapati. Ba diaspora fusekeni kutali
Chik@la cha bwiso, kabol@l@ iwe
Nostra…. Chomba is no minister he is a PS…please stop drinking and blogging again!
Nostradamus has a toothpick for a pen1s. No wonder his insecurity
FIRST THERE WAS JAY JAY (GAY GAY) AND NOW THERE IS TARINO FILTHY ORANGE WITH THE SAME CHIDISH COMMENTS OF A MIND TWISTED BY UNNATURAL ACTS.
PLEASE SHUT UP
I will use this opportunity to ask why the first 8,000 link project in the name kitwe Chingola dual carriage way had taken forever to finish. A very important road that could reduce travel time and make more money for our country couldn’t be finished on time. Michael alive today would fire people like you.
I will never forgive that boggers Bishop because of calling HH as Satanist who eat babies. How can a man of God say such things?
Seriously imwe baffikala your bishop is a PS? Are normal you people, who on earth can award that idyot an important job as PS? Listen, I don’t read or follow what that low life do. All I want is God to cast lightening on him for being such a dirty man.
The fake bishop with his fake degree who was castigated by his minister Charles banda for saying one of the overpass bridges constructed was not up to standard and was going to be demolished. I hope you have permission for this latest statement.
“….He said government is planting trees three times as much as those being cut down to mitigate the impact of climate change on the country…..”
Are you talking of country wide or just on those new roads ?
Can’t be country wide , malasha is devastating forests
I like the planting of trees 3x as much. Good job Lusaka is indeed changing.. I will give u my vote for that… But I haven’t seen the replanted nangenya trees
This Chomba must have something on PF leadership first the fake certificate and second the bridge debacle ..I think he connected like his eccentric mate Simoson Mwewa!!
This story is as good as not reporting anything a LT What are you reporting this for? You don’t tell us any development.
When is project kicking off? That is the question for any good journalist,
He says the multimillion-dollar road expansion project is on time and expected to reduce travel time for people within the capital city.What is “on time”?
Seleni tubombeko. Vote PF for economic transformation n prosperity.
