Govt to fumigate public places once a week

Ministry of Local Government Permanent Secretary Mathew Ngulube has instructed Provincial Local Government Officers to ensure local authorities under their jurisdiction intensify compliance of COVID-19 measures among members of the public.

Speaking during a media briefing in Lusaka, Mr. Ngulube said the rise in the number of COVID-19 is worrying and requires concerted efforts.

Mr. Ngulube has directed local authorities working in liaison with law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders to place emphasis on heightened awareness through local radios, megaphones, posters among others.

He further guided the local authorities to regularly fumigate all public places including places of worship under their jurisdiction at least once a week.

“Local authorities should ensure masking up in markets, bus stations and other public places is undertaken and constantly monitored,” he said.

  1. Developed countries are just getting out of strict lockdown since last November, Zambians thought you can pray away coronavirus with useless prayers . Get ready to dig mass graves.

  2. We saw S.A and European countries who saw tens of thousands of deaths over the past and a half year. And we only saw less then 500 deaths without lockdown but with PRAYER.

    judge for yourself. What is it that is working

    Nonsensical scientists advises which could have crushed zambias economy or prayers.

    Our prayers have begun. Be rest assured this virus will go very soon.

    We have reached the peak, we are now coming down soon…

    Go to europe if you don’t like zambia. You can enjoy lockdowns there. Here it is business as usual.

    As Zambians we have firm faith in the Almighty.

  3. Always looking for a complicated solution to steal money. You only need a broom, water, mutton cloth and boom to clean those dirty markets! People please!!!

  4. Servant of the Almighty – take your delusions somewhere else where are your prayers when you are busy begging for vaccines everyday from anyone including sly Chinks!!

  5. Tarino let us waste our resources the way we feel best to. We pay taxes. You who is paying tax to your queen there abroad have no right or say in our affairs here in Zambia. Continue wlping backsides there and enriching people who hate your skin colour.

  6. Why, pray tell, do we refuse to employ scientific evidence to handle things in Zambia? Fumigation?
    I am too angry at this.

  7. I like the UPND campaign song …Azadumbwila. Message is direct n true to the core.
