Mr Maumbi says the government secured some funds to pay for the difference of over 4, 00 Kwacha that clients may be serving for connection.
Mr Mumbi was speaking at a media breakfast meeting in Solwezi. Mr Maumbi said there has been a challenge of connection fee hence the government came up with the initiative to increase access to Electricity for everyone.
