Government is constructing a mourners shelter in Kapiri-mposhi district at a cost of K80 million at Shibwelelo Main Cemetery.
Kapiri-mposhi Member of Parliament Friday Malwa confirmed the development in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka today.
Mr. Malwa, who expressed gratitude to the government for releasing the funds, said Shibwelelo Main Cemetery is near completion and would be operational by next month.
He said Shibwelelo Main Cemetery which was established 30 years ago in 1979 would help mourners bury their dead in a decent and honorable manner.
Mr. Malwa said the construction of the shelter is being supervised by the Kapiri-mposhi District Council.
He appealed to the Shibwelelo community against vandalizing the facility.
Mr. Malwa, who is also Community Development and Social Services Deputy Minister, said government is determined to develop not only Kapiri-mposhi district but the country as a whole.
ZANIS
RB has started campaigning, it mighty be difficult for the pact to carry the day bcos this old man seems to be positioning himself very well watch him.
so someone is happy that twalia again. watch out. use the money wisely.
Have you read Dennis Mumba’s report to parliament on the ZNOC saga?
Warning: It is not for the fainthearted. Corruption in the government at its highest!
fimambala even this money will be shared .
Invest in the HEALTH SECTOR and you wont need more mourners shelters, mortuaries or hearses because less people will be dying and at great intervals. But as things stand we wont have any more burial ground.
K80 million, mourner’s shelter, it’s true balya again. Kwati balekula Mulungushe Conference. This is how they steal GRZ funds. Twalaikala shani bamudala ba RB, ok baiche ka project ako, mwishibe ifyo mwala toba insamushi. Pa Zed, pa chalo pesu.
This Gvt is just busy preparing how to bury its pipo intead of preserving their lives. Shame
RB is very eager to take people to the grave its sad mwee i really feel bad to see this man paying more attetion to things that hv to do with funerals than issues to do with life..
Whats with the govt facination with death! First is was the hearse…now shelters what next…
MMD leadership a circus! Surely where are your priorities? Mourners shelter? Are there even drugs in Kaprir Mposhi? Lord Lord where did we go wrong! deliver us from this leadership twapapata!
I just hate the phrase, “honest and decent manner!”. Its being used to siphon funds!!!
hearses, mourner’s shelters… i think next the govt will just order 12 million caskets.. for each and every citizen they intend on burying.
Yaba! hearses, mourners shelter, our GRZ know wht it is doing. there is nothing remaining to leave for in zambia,
K80m?? Are they building a Kapiri version of Staples Centre to be accommodating more mourners than is the case with the Leopards Hill one? Temanofye yabunjeke?
I think alot of MMD politicians are dying hence this whole sadden concern of of the dead. 1st the Hearses and now mouners shelter, what next?
i think abena bwezani they have been to witchdoctors and they have been advised to sacrifice the lives of zambian people if they want to stay in power…hence the hearses, mourners shelters etc..!
I have no words for this Govt. What are the critical priorities for our people? Simbao is crying for more money in the hospitals. Is this the best way of responding to the crisis in MOH? may be someone is anticipating massive deaths and hence the possibility of ordering 12 million caskets. Shame on RB
