Government has expressed happiness at the successful completion of the installation of digital village television coverage countrywide.
Information and Broadcasting Services Permanent Secretary Chanda Kasolo says the successful completion of the installation of the 500 sets in 500 villages across the country means that citizens in all corners of the country will now be able to access information.
Mr. Kasolo was speaking when he presented a certificate of completion of the digital village television project to Topstar vice president Cliff Sichone in Lusaka today.
He explained that the successful completion of the village Television project is an indication of Zambia’s commitment to achieving some of the milestones in the 7th National Development Plan which emphasizes the need not to leave anyone behind.
He added that the installation of the solar powered television sets has given an opportunity to people in areas that have no electricity to keep abreast with issues around the country and the world over.
Mr. Kasolo has since urged people in areas where solar powered television sets have been installed to treat the television sets as a very important asset that will allow them to be connected to the rest of the world. Government, through Topstar, has installed 50 satellite digital television sets in each of the ten provinces of Zambia.
And Mr. Kasolo has said Government is happy with the fruits that the relationship with the Government of the People’s Republic of China continues to bear. He said Zambia and China have continued to enjoy warm relations.
Mr. Kasolo appealed to the Chinese Government to consider providing more satellite television sets so that a wider coverage of villages that have been left out can be reached.
The 500 satellite television sets are part of the 10,000 sets the Chinese Government donated to benefit 10,000 villages in Africa. The donation was made by Chinese President Xi jinping during the FOCAC meeting held in South Africa in 2015.
