95% OF CB ROADS ARE A DEATH TRAP – MATAMBO

By Frank Ching’ambu:

Copperbelt Province, Minister ELISHA MATAMBO has described the current state of roads in the province as “death traps.”

Mr. MATAMBO says 95 percent of roads across the Copperbelt are in a bad state and that urgent attention should be given to prevent any loss of lives.

He said this in Ndola when he hosted a Parliamentary committee on budget and planning.

Mr. MATAMBO said the roads are in a bad state and have hindered development in many parts of the province.

He said it is painful learning that the province that contributes a larger percentage to the country’s resource envelope has most of its roads in a dilapidated state.

And committee member, DAVISON MUNG’ANDU wondered why most roads on the Copperbelt have remained in a bad state when the province had a well advertised project called “Copperbelt 4-hundred kilometer road project.”

Mr. MUNG’ANDU who is also Chama South Member of Parliament said the previous regime boasted a lot about the C400 road project whose aim was to rehabilitate many roads in the province but questioned what could have happened.
