Government has constituted a committee to look into housing and other logistics for a smooth shift of the provincial headquarters from Livingstone to Choma in Southern Province to be headed by the Deputy Provincial Permanent Secretary Alfred Chingi.
Southern Province Permanent Secretary Inutu Suba said Mr Chingi and his team would soon be travelling to Choma to look at the infrastructure where residential houses and offices could be put up.
Ms Suba disclosed this at her office today during a Press Briefing where she added that Livingstone would be left to primarily look into tourism activities whilst the provincial administration would be in Choma.
She also disclosed that a team of constituted Army Officers had been constituted to undertake a cleaning exercise of Livingstone which she described as very dirty.
She said over the years, Livingstone had not been spared from cholera adding that there was need to cleanse the town of garbage.
On the misuse of Government vehicles, Ms Suba said her office had withdrawn competencies from Officers driving government vehicles.
She said this was to avert unnecessary damage to Government vehicles adding that only drivers would have competencies.Ms Suba warned that Government had started impounding Government vehicles that were being misused.
”We have started impounding vehicles. We are getting more strict now, we will put up very stringent measures and others have already lost their jobs,” she said.ZANIS
Zavuta pa Zed, everyone is seen sweeping cleaning. Please don’t get swept in the process, lol!
Lusaka City too is very dirty. I have travelled the world myself and have seen how cities befitting a Capital should look like. It’s hightime we also and quickly moved our ageing Capital City Lusaka, to say, Kafue town because of it’s river; Kafue. Many cities around the world have builty their capitals near or on rivers due to abundance of water and beautiful sceneries. Little wonder as soon as tourists enter Lusaka, they are greeted with shaka-shantie townships, smell of urine and matuvi and roads full of salaula and rape sales as a vegitable, shame…
The Amy getting involved this is serious .I am loving Sata
Chumbu,indeed l agree with you . Something drastic must be done to the city-lusaka. Lusaka is extremely dirty . Let all the places be cleaned. Shants must be looked into please. I know the new government is capable of doing it.
MY PRESIDENT THE SYSTEM IN GOVERNMENT IS SO DIRTY TOO STARTING WITH JUNIORS/CLERKS. MAKE SURE YOU SWIP THEM TOO. LEST I FORGET AND THE CHAIRS AND TABLES ARE FULL OF CROCODILES OR SORRY COCKROACHES TOO. FIRE THE OLD TABLES AND CHAIRS TOO.
LET ZNS AND ARMY DO THE WORK. WE DON’T HAVE WARS AND MAY NOT HAVE ONE TOO IN 100 YEARS. THEY ARE JUST BUSY DRINKING ANDÂ SHAGGINGÂ WOMEN. IT HIGH THEY THEY STARTED WORKING. DON’T FORGET THESE GUYS ARE POWERFUL PUT THEM IN CONSTRUCTION TOO.

why don’t you start by cleaning soweto market in Lusaka and removing street vendors who are making the town looking very filthy? Lusaka is the dirtiest city in Zambia. Go to the compounds, one feels like vomiting all the time. Am not sure the part of Livingstone that warrants army officers moving in to clean, what is the council doing?
Suba is permanent secretary for Southern Province. That is her job. Lusaka is someone else’s job. Surely you cannot wait for your neighbour to sweep their house first before you sweep yours? But yes. Lusaka needs cleaning. I agree.
Please people man of action will eventually be in lusaka.He has started with l/stone
The reason our cities are dirty is because people who generate the dirt do not contribute to cleaning up. Until this is sorted, people will care less. Households should pay for garbage collection. It is them who bring all this things from shops and markets. City councils should charge all who generate waste. There’s nothing for free. Without money, piles of dirt will always be there.
We admire how clean towns and cities are in other countries but we should ask, how come? In the UK we pay council tax, mine is £126 per month. The council collects household waste from us every week. Somebody has to pay for waste management and waste disposal.
start by erecting new buildings in choma for the people to feel the change. dont rush
It s good move to clean up l/stone and also shift southern hq to choma.
Better than Chiluba who destroyed agriculture. He has to bribe us before he can create another province in his home area.
WHO IS THIS PS INGUTU SUBA ? CAN SOMEONE SHADE MORE LIGHT ON HER BACKGROUND. WE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HER. MAY BE SHE CAN DO BETTER BEING BROUGHT TO LUSAKA. I SEE NOTHING WRONG IN DEPLOYING OUR SERVICE MEN IN DOING CLEAN UP AS THEY ARE CURRENTLY NOT DOING SERIOUS OPS ON OUR BORDERS. WE DONT WANT TO SEE A SITUATION IF NOTHING IS DONE TO CLEAN UP OUR CITIES AND WHEN THERE IS ABREAK OUT CHORELA THATS WHEN THEY ARE DEPLOYED. PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. THANK YOU.
Ba Suba with due respect please read the General Orders these provide guide lines on which officer can be in charge of a GRZ vehicle. The Controller of Government Transport can guide you on this dont just impound cars like headless chickens we know how you have suffered in poverty over the years. Oh and please tell the Minister at Works and Supply that Judith Kapijimpanga needs to replace the GRZ vehicle her son damaged when she was lands Minister..we havent forgotten…
Good move and good start
@ She was one of Sata’s concubines. She also has a child with him.
Irrelevant!!!
@8 the council does charge for waste collection only problem is that most residential areas are serviced by companies owned by council employees and they collect between K 50 000 to K 80 000 monthly.
its not about having soldiers to clean up our cities. towns and cities are dirty because there i no system put in place or the council are merely useless. we pay council levies. were does the money go? lets have a system put in place. Â are we going to have soldiers every morning sweeping the streets? we never learn. clean streets is not development. our environment has to be clean.
Has Suba told you soldiers will be doing that all the time?lt is just that the dirty that has piled allover the country needs emergence work. That’s where men and women in uniforms come in. Afterward the relavant authority will be doing the job.GO On people of actions!
MORE MONEY IN THE POCKETS OF COMMISSIONERS WHILST US POOR PIPO THAT VOTED NUTHING IS COMING OUR WAY. I thought the idea was to reduce cabinet. now he has increased the provinces meeaning that more money will be going to the new province compared to the existing ministry?? why have we zambians been brain washed y have we accepted to be manipulated by the devil. i told you before PURNISHMENT IS COMING SOON TO ZAMBIA FOR ABUSING THE NAME OF OUR LORD GOD FOR NOT PRACTISING WHAT WE DECLARE. ATI ZAMBIA SHALL BE RULED BY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS HMMM AND YET WE DO THE CONTRARY.
Whats the council doing? Is it not there job to clean the town??
I just dont understand why the Army should be cleaning streets?
