Contractors working on various projects in Muchinga Province not yet paid

Special Assistant to the President for Projects, Implementation and Monitoring Andrew Chellah says contractors working on various projects in Muchinga Province will soon be paid their outstanding balances.

Mr. Chellah was speaking soon after inspecting the 30 medium cost government houses and the six -storey provincial administration building in Chinsali district.

He said the outstanding balances for both projects are minimal saying the two contractors will soon be moving on site to complete the works.

Mr Chellah said projects in Muchinga Province will be prioritized in terms of payments as most projects are above 80 percent complete.

Meanwhile, Provincial Infrastructure Officer for Muchinga Province Andrew Njelesani said the visit by Mr. Chellah has given them hope that the projects going on in the Province will be completed soon.

  1. They have not been paid and you expect them to continue staying on site…then Lazy Lungu will come to tour in two weeks and say at the camera that Zambian contractors are not reliable when his govt has misappropriated the funds as its broke.

  2. The global economy is in disarray due to covid 19. I personally would rather have a delayed salary rather than lose my job. Those with matter in between their ears will understand. Those with faeces in their brain will think like the above comment

  4. Don’t worry contractors and suppliers owing for the last four years will be paid as we go towards 2021.

  5. The PF government is broke and the revenue base is dwindling so they must abondone the projects.

    Even Chinese can’t risk lending these lazy PF government.

    PF must go!

  6. There is no money because Pf and lungu have stolen it, bowman has gone to the copperbelt to bribe the people there to keep power for PF so they can continue to rape zambia.
    PF must go or Zambia dies

  8. Kazier Zulu is full of insults……… When you are a leader, be humble. Don’t do evil for evil…..Leaders are above insults….. Since you were born , haven’t you been insulted? What did yo do to enemies…… have you Killed them? Example of true leadership of Nelson Mandela? he was jailed for 27 years, he never destroyed his enemies but treated them with love…….. Be like Jesus our Saviour and Lord
