Minister of Local Government Charles Banda says the government remains resolute to rehabilitate feeder roads countrywide to spur social and economic development.
He explained that the government under his ministry will not relent in improving the state of feeder roads as they contribute greatly to economic development.
ZANIS reports that Dr Banda made the remarks in parliament today, when responding to a question from Chinsali Member of Parliament, Kalalwe Mukosa, who wanted to know whether government has plans to rehabilitate feeder roads in Chinsali District, Muchinga, during the session for oral answers.
“Muchinga like any other province in the country is receiving its fair share of feeder roads and works are in progress. We are constructing and rehabilitating more roads, currently 80 kilometers of the rehabilitation works in the province are done,” he responded.
Of the K119.6 billion for 2021 National budget, the government allocated over K6.2 billion for Road Infrastructure development in the country.
Building feeder roads with more loans ?
Charles banda, which feeder roads in chinsali disrict are you mentioned has been worked on ? charles, if you have nothing to say, just shut your mouth up ! our people in rural areas here in the district are crying for the said roads to be worked on.
Feeder roads? What about main roads? President Sata initiated the Katende-Kasisi road, the work started and stopped again a few months later. And SIX years of Lungu government has done NOTHING – the road is only 30% completed…….
