All is set for the three hundred thousand kwacha ultra-modern Chibolya township market construction in Kankoyo constituency of Mufulira District in Copperbelt province.
Kankoyo Member of Parliament, Brian Mushimba who confirmed the development today said his constituency had received a total of K 700,000 Constituency Development Fund (CDF), of which K350,000 would be used to construct a modern market in Chibolya township.
Mr. Mushimba , who is also Transport and Communications Minister, said Chibolya township has had no market for a long time , a situation he said had forced traders to sell on the streets.
He said apart from the K700,000 CDF which had already been received at the constituency, another K 700,000 would be released.
The parliamentarian said the funds would be spent on infrastructure development in his constituency.
“ Government had earmarked to construct a clinic in Kankoyo central, a youth recreation center in Butondo Township where youths would be empowered with different life which they could use to earn a living adding that all these projects would be done using CDF, “ he said.
The Member of Parliament said all these projects had already been approved by the Ministry of Local Government and would commence soon.
In another development, Mr. Mushimba said 25 kilometers of township roads would be worked on in Kankoyo constituency as part of the C400.
He added that the roads works were expected to commerce early next year as the contractor was currently working on township roads in Chingola District.
Mr. Mushimba pledged to buy three welding machines which would be given to the youths of Kankoyo central, Chibolya, and Butondo Townships to enable them earn a living.
The parliamentarian said the youths would use the welding machines to make doors, door frames, and window frames, among others accessories adding that he would find a market for their products as a way of empowering them.
“All is set for an ultra-ultra-modern Chibolya township market” – WHEN STANDARD FALL SO SO LOW, EVERYTHING NORMAL or EVEN SLIGHTLY SHODDY BECOMES ULTRA MODERN!! Is this going to be any different from the markets we have already seen in Zambia that were called “ultra modern?” Now this one has x2 Ultra- WHAT AN EXAGGERATION OF MEDIOCRITY!!
An ultra-modern market built at the cost of K350,000? Really? that amount cant even build a house?
Ati ultra-modern market….my foot!!
I wouldn’t like anyone to judge the honourable MP even before he does the work, mind you he is a different person from Mukanga.
Let him prove himself with what he can do with the constituent funds.
ZMK350,000 is too little honorable to CONSTRUCT an ULTRA MODERN MARKET, withdraw the words ultramodern and replace them with a market to fit the 350,000 cash. I worked in kankoyo , pipo drink so much kachasu day in and day out hope Honourables efforts will change the mindset for people.
Chibolya township market in Kankoyo! This headline is very confusing ba LT… An ultra modern market in a very old township, uh uh, let’s wait and see…
The words “Ultra modern” are abused in Zambian vocabulary ….so this CDF how does it work you mean the MP has a say so on where money goes and who builds? This is a flawed distribution of funds…
Hazaluza Hagain! He has no basis to attack a working government!
It is good that the minister will donate 3 welding machines and find markets for their products of door frames etc.
Question where will the youth get the money to buy steel, welding rods, grinders, discs and pay commercial rates for electricity.
Imagine LT puts asterisks for a simple word ,, rods. Do u guys have any intelligence
Why is rods as a word need cencorship, how do you weld without welding rods, they are electrodes
