Senior chief Bright Nalubamba of Namwala district has appealed to Namwala district council to consider building a mortuary at Chitongo health centre.
Chief Nalubamba suggested that the council should use part of the Constituency Development Funds (CDF) to construct a mortuary at the clinic. He said building a mortuary at the clinic would reduce bereaved families’ burden of transporting their deceased relatives’ bodies to Namwala district hospital mortuary.
He told ZANIS that bereaved families resort to burying their loved ones immediately they pass on without waiting for other relatives to arrive because of lack of a mortuary in the area.
“ I wish to appeal to the council as they sit to debate on how they are going to utilize the CDF, let them think of constructing a mortuary here so that people can bury their deceased relatives with dignity,” he said.
And chief Nalubamba said people in Chibote village have shown commitment to continuing the stalled community school building project which is funded by Community Response to HIV/AIDS (CRAIDS).
Addressing scores of villagers during a meeting to find the way forward on the stalled school project, Chief Nalubamba said each village would raise K100, 000 towards the purchase of some building materials such as cement that went to waste.
