Government has urged business houses in the country to plough back to the community they operate in.
Lusaka Province Permanent Secretary Daniel Bowasi says by ploughing back to community, business houses will help improve and uplift the living standards in communities they operate in.
The Permanent Secretary said this during the commissioning of painting of police houses at Chilenje Police Camp through the “Dulux Lets Colour Project “in Lusaka yesterday.
He said government is ready to partner with various business houses in ensuring that surroundings were kept clean and tidy such as painting of institutional houses.
He furthermore commended Dulux Limited Zambia for supplementing government’s efforts to maintain the Keep Zambia Clean Campaign through painting of the police houses in Chilenje.
He has since urged police officers occupying the painted houses to take good care of them by treating the institutional houses as their own.
And Dulux Limited Zambia, Sales and Marketing Manager, Ghady Thole said their colour project was a world wide initiative of uplifting the living standards of people through painting of houses, hospitals and other institutions to render them a clean environment.
Mr. Thole said they targeted to paint all the houses in Chilenje police camp and the police offices because they were all not in good shape.
He said once they were done with the Chilenje Police Camp painting they will move to the Copperbelt where they will identify other institutions to work on.
