Central Province Permanent Secretary, Bernard Chomba, has appealed to the Ministry of Infrastructure to urgently address the issue of water supply to the new council houses in Ngabwe district.
Speaking after the tour of the houses, Mr Chomba expressed sadness that the 20 houses that have since been completed have remained unoccupied due to the absence of water.
Mr Chomba called for a speedy solution to resolving the water challenges at the 20 houses so as to pave way for commissioning.
He said the lack of accommodation for public service workers in Ngabwe district is a hindrance to enhanced and effective service delivery.
He further stated that the provincial administration will engage authorities for a possible variation of some water boreholes earmarked for Serenje and Chitambo so that some could be given to Ngabwe to address the water challenge.
It will cost k30,000 to dig a borehole. Can’t all those beneficiaries just remove k1500 and get the problem sorted out ?
Does this really need some rocket science to solve this simple problem.
TELL ME WHAT PROJECT THIS GOVERNMENT HAS FULLY COMPLETED
VERY FEW IS ANY
IF THE KK AIRPORT WILL OPEN BEFORE COMPLETION JUST AS A POLITICAL GIMMICK
Incompetent PF government surely will try to put the blame on someone else – while there’s no doubt the PF is responsible. But you won’t hear anybody – least of all the horrible thieving president Edgar China Lungu – actually accept responsibility! PF: Lying about everything, not delivering anything!
No one should be surprised that there are completed houses and no water for that’s how the PF projects are structured! Something is always missing at “completion” of the projects! Doesn’t the country have ‘completed’ clinics all over the country lacking water, electricity, equipment, medicines and, staff? Same about schools newly constructed or upgraded! Imagine bringing home a new pot then being told by the culinary director “the pot is of no use because there is nothing to cook and you didn’t think of getting something as you were deciding to buy the pot.”
At Isaac, why borehole and not piped water? These boreholes are an eyesore
New houses lacking water? Reason is “completion” was rushed for political expediency bcoz its campaign season.
Just use outhouses (pit latrines). That how rural Zambia is.
No comment from our UK based troll KZ? Oh, you have finally seen the light? That your boss and his horrible thieving government are completely failing the entire country and the suffering population? Can’t even organize a borehole? PF: Lying about everything, not delivering anything!
When they planned these homes did no one think that they might need water, no forward thinking that’s PF
