Government will not accept any loss of employment at Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) following the mining firm’s proposal to embark on outsourcing jobs.

Chief government spokesperson Kampamba Mulenga said Government does not take pride in people losing jobs in any sector.

“Government rejoices when there are jobs being created for the people, “she said.

Ms Mulenga said in response to Chingola mayor Titus Tembo who informed her that miners are worried that they might lose their jobs when KCM embarks on outsourcing jobs.

Miners fear that they will lose their jobs following KCM’s proposal to start outsourcing jobs for the mining firm.

Meanwhile, Ms Mulenga has said President Lungu is committed to improving the roads in Chingola, and the country as a whole.

“This is the reason President Lungu came to Chingola to launch the C400 project in this mining town,” she said.

Earlier, Chingola district commissioner Mary Chibesa said works on road rehabilitation have started in Chingola.

“Two of the three contractors are on site and have started the works,” she said.
