Munali Constituency Member of Parliament, Mike Mposha has handed over several completed Education and health infrastructure projects under the 2024 Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
Speaking during the handover ceremony in Lusaka today, Mr Mposha says the developments will significantly improve service delivery and livelihoods in the constituency.
The media reports Mr Mposha said the projects, implemented across Chakunkula, Chainda and Kalikiliki wards, reflect the government’s commitment to delivering tangible development at community level.
“This is a very exciting day for the people of Munali Constituency because we are handing over projects that are practical, impactful and directly address the needs of our communities,” he said.
Mr Mposha explained that education remains a priority sector, as improved learning infrastructure is essential to national development.
“At Chainda Open School in Chainda Ward, we have completed the construction of an ablution block with showers at a cost of K1, 582, 880. This facility will greatly improve sanitation and hygiene for our learners,” he said.
Mr Mposha added that the project was implemented by Kapeshi Works and Traders Limited and included the construction of the substructure, superstructure, roofing and finishing works.
He said in Chakunkula Ward, a 1×3 classroom block has been constructed at Kapwelyomba Primary School at a cost of K1.6 million to ease classroom congestion caused by increased enrolment following the reintroduction of free education.
“With free education, enrolment has increased, and it became necessary for us to prioritise classroom infrastructure so that our children can learn in a conducive environment,” he said.
Mr Mposha noted that similar classroom blocks have been completed at Chelston Secondary School and Chainama Special School, while a double-story classroom block at Kaunda Square Secondary School is more than 50 percent complete.
He also said in the health sector, the government had completed previously stalled clinic projects after allocating additional CDF resources.
“When we took over in 2021, some health facility projects had stalled due to lack of funds. We made a deliberate decision to ensure these projects were completed,” he said.
He disclosed that the Mutendere East clinic was completed at a cost of K697, 000, with additional funds allocated for a boundary wall and paving works to enhance security and improve the facility’s environment.
Mr Mposha also announced the completion of a health Centre in Glipis Compound, implemented in phases at a total cost exceeding K1 million, which is expected to benefit more than 50,000 residents.
“This clinic will bring health services closer to the people. Residents will no longer have to travel long distances to access medical care,” he said.
Mr Mposha urged the community to safeguard the infrastructure as facilities belong to the people and it is our collective responsibility to protect them so that they serve generations to come.
