Nkomeshya lauds govt for Lwimba-Katoba road

ZANIS-Senior Chieftainess NKOMESHYA MUKAMAMBO the second of the Soli people says she is pleased with the New Dawn government’s response towards her request for works to be completed on the Lwimba Katoba Road.

The traditional leader says it is important for the 27 kilometer stretch of the road which has been in a deplorable state for 10 years to be worked on because it is used by many farmers to transport their produce to markets.

She says the road becomes impassable during the rainy season, a situation which has disadvantaged her subjects for many years as they have to use alternative longer routes to reach Chongwe’s central business district.

Senior Chieftainess NKOMESHYA is hopeful that government will improve road infrastructure in her chiefdom which will ease movement for her subjects.

She said this after inspecting some projects in Chongwe today, in the company of Housing and Infrastructure, Minister CHARLES MILUPI and Chongwe Member of Parliament, SYLVIA MASEBO.

The Chieftainess also expressed concern over inadequate water supply which has persisted in the area despite the completion of the Ntanisha water project.

She called on Lusaka Water Supply and Sanitation Company to come up with long term solutions to address the challenge.

Meanwhile Mr. MILUPI assured the traditional leader that government will work on the Lwimba-Katoba Road because it acknowledges the role it plays to ease movement of farmers.

He further assured the Chieftainess that government will also work on two bridges on the road in Chalimbana and Lwimba wards.

And Ms. MASEBO thanked Mr. MILUPI for responding to concerns raised by people in her constituency over poor road infrastructure.

Ms. MASEBO said Chongwe residents have been marginalised for many years and are eager to see development under the new government.
