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.
