Green Economy and Environment Minister Collins Nzovu has said that Government will initiate resource recovery mechanisms on any projects that are of poor quality, overpriced, or abandoned by contractors that have been paid.
Mr. Nzovu said that Cabinet approved the creation of a fast-track court to prosecute those that stole public resources, and his Ministry will make full use of that, adding that
Mr. Nzovu said that he wants the local people to take ownership of projects in their areas without political interference or intimidation, adding that no civil servant will be victimized for doing the right thing that benefits the country.
Mr Nzovu was speaking when he inspected progress made on works under the Lake Tanganyika Development Project in Nsama District.
Meanwhile, Northern Province Minister Leonard Mbao said the provision of quality health care services remains of Paramount importance to Government.
Mr. Mbao said his office will engage the Minister of Health to deploy health workers at Kapembwa health post to serve the people of that area.
And Kapembwa Health Post Community Health Assistant, John Chama appealed to the two ministers to help push for confirmation because his team is not confirmed but working as volunteers.
This I support ? percent. People get money in form of mobilization for work contracts awarded to them but end up buying luxurious things from that money. I have seen it in the mines, I have seen it on goverment projects eg the Kitwe Chingola dual carriage way…. here the Chinese have done their part to the full but potions given to Zambians have been abandoned. There should be no mercy shown to anyone involved ie the contractor and the one who certified the job as complete.
How about recovering the stolen money at Edgar China Lungu and his cronies? Just confiscate everything in sight, surely they won’t have any receipts for anything.
Most new roads in Lusaka have pavements and drainage too close to the road, the turning angles at junctions are wrong not suitable for m/vehicles, speed bumps too high for most cars. and the infamous road markings. We have been ripped off for years with poor quality or over diluted paint, when will we hold the companies accountable? Road markings in Zambia last days instead of years.m? They do poor work with impunity because we have come to accept shoddy road markings as normal. Learn from other countries. RDA must answer for these poor works
My only advice is that seek the advice of the Attorney General before you make any decision. From experience it’s usually Government that’s at fault. A typical example is the Manyumbi Toll Plaza in which you were involved. Government always failed to release funds according to the schedule and this always called for the adjustment of the contract because os escalated costs. We don’t want you to put pressure on the the already strained Treasury in compensations like did the PF. As a contractor you know what I’m talking about
Hh did a poor job in the selling of our parastatals during privatisation. We should recover all millions paid to him. Start from there chi-car-la
Ba Minister, how about the road toll booth between Kabwe and Kapiri? ….Nzovu Transport? Your comment
They benefitted from PF CONTRACTS………
What about starting from HH and Lungu…..recover money from these 2 first
Did Nzovu Transport and Construction complete the initial project of constructing a toll gate at Manyumbe?
