State house has dispelled as false, allegations that works on the Solwezi-Chingola road have stalled and contractors are not on site.

Speaking when he toured the road works today, State house Permanent Secretary Emmanuel Chilubanama dispelled the allegations made by MMD national secretary Raphael Nakacinda as false and misleading.

Mr Chilubanama said it is unfair for politicians to make unfounded claims and bring the name of the President into disrepute.

He said the contractors are on site and making detours so as not to disrupt the flow of traffic and wondered which works have stalled.

Mr Chilubanama said according to the contract, both Buildcon and China Geo Corporation are on schedule.

And Buildcon site agent Anthony Chongo told the Permanent Secretary that his firm was on course with the works.

Mr Chongo said so far about eight kilometers of the road has been ripped off.

Mr Nakacinda over the weekend alleged that works on the Solwezi-Chingola road have stalled and contractors are not on site when he appeared on a radio program in Solwezi.

  1. Graders are just packed, as can be seen above..Nothing happening on this road, just political statements.

  2. …politics..politics…I first got the news three weeks ago when a friend of mine drove from Kitwe to solwezi…..he did not see any activity through out his journey…..when he was going and on his way back….
    ….soon there will be onset of rains and a good excuse to hold the project only to revamp the works at a larger scale when the campaigns for 2016 start….
