LIVINGSTONE-SESHEKE ROAD TO BE REHABILITATED

By Fred Mukelebai

Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development Minister CHARLES MILUPI says the government will rehabilitate the damaged Livingstone – Sesheke road.

Mr. MILUPI says the road is important to Zambia’s economy because of its use to import and export various goods.

He says the current state of the road has compelled transporters of goods to resort to using the Mongu – Lusaka road, putting pressure on the road and the temporary bridge on Kafue River.

The minister said this when he inspected the Livingstone – Sesheke road.

And Mr. MILUPI said no road should be allowed to deteriorate to the level of the current state of the Livingstone – Sesheke highway.

He said the road is likely to be considered for financing under the public private partnership arrangement because of its economic importance.

The Minister said it was unfortunate for the previous administration to boast about undertaking infrastructure development when other key roads had been left to deteriorate.
