Government will this year electrify Chanida Border Post in Chadiza district.
Energy Deputy Minister, Allan Mbewe, disclosed the development in an interview with ZANIS in Chadiza on Monday.
Mr. Mbewe, who is also Chadiza Central Member of Parliament, said the electrification project would cost about K14 billion.
He said once electrified, Chanida, which borders Zambia and Mozambique, will be expected to operate on a 24-hour basis.
He said the move will also translate into increased revenue collection by the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA).
Mr. Mbewe said Chanida will also be equipped with an electric powered scanner that helps speed up clearance of trucks at border posts when Zesco powers the border.
He said work will begin soon and Chanida border post is expected to have power before the end of the year.
