Minister of Local Government and Rural Development Garry Nkombo has launched the construction of one thousand housing units under the Money Grow Co-operative Society housing scheme.
The housing scheme which targets persons dealing in small businesses will benefit marketeers, bus and taxi drivers among others.
Speaking during the groundbreaking ceremony held at Chishelungu housing estate, Minister of Local Government and Rural Development Garry Nkombo said housing ownership for Zambians is close to President Hakainde Hichilema’s heart adding that it is a key focus area for the new dawn government.
Mr Nkombo revealed that over three hundred job opportunities for youths will be created from the housing project.
The Minister was elated that thousands of ordinary Zambians have joined hands to start saving towards the home ownership scheme.
Mr Nkombo reiterated that government is in a hurry to deliver jobs for the youths and improve the livelihoods of families across the country.
The Minister said this in a speech read for him by Local Government and Rural Development Director Housing and Infrastructure Development Nkumbu Siame.
And Money Grow Savings and Credit Co-operative Society National Chairperson Mauden Shula said the housing scheme is meant to assist members own housing units.
Mr Shula disclosed that members of the savings scheme faced huge challenges in sourcing land later on to raise funds for building hence the decision to venture into the home ownership scheme.
Mr Shula explained that members for the savings scheme will pay for the houses under a fixable payment model.
Thousand housing units? Without any funding reserved? That will take a thousand years to implement then. Give it another year and nobody will even remember this project!
Garry Nkombo starts to look like PF’s Given Lubinda: in the news everyday with meaningless messages! Being compared to GL is NOT a compliment!
A continuation from where PF left from kikikikiki new dawn government is a joke….meanwhile corruption continues and thieves are still roaming the streets of Zambia….well shielded by UPND Bandits….Milingo Lungu his millions still intact…Faith Musonda the story will die a natural death….not even a single PF Bandits will see the inside of Prison because UPND is led by a thief…HH big crook and worse than Lungu
A good move by government and a good approach to address strain on available individual resources!
I pray the minister looked at the scheme with expert eye otherwise such rushed programs may be scheme to dupe the same poor – imagine a housing 419.
