GOVT FINDS IMMEDIATE SOLUTIONS TO FLOODS – VEEP

By Etambuyu Katota

Vice President WK MUTALE NALUMANGO says immediate solutions are being formulated to prevent flooding in Lusaka.

Mrs. NALUMANGO says the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit – DMMU and the Zambia National Service – ZNS are already working on a number of drainages.

She says permanent solutions however need to be found to stop the flooding that is experienced every year.

Mrs. NALUMANGO who has attributed the problem over the years to poor city planning says civil servants should work at finding permanent solutions and not wait on politicians to find these solutions because politicians come and go.

She adds that it is unfortunate that there are encroachments on drainage lines.

The Vice President was speaking when she inspected drainages in Lusaka.

Mrs. NALUMANGO said going forward, it is important that residents and companies do not put up structures in flood prone areas and recharge zones to avoid blocking the smooth flow of water.
