Chingola Constituency Member of Parliament, Matthew Nkhuwa has commissioned a ‘ state of the art’ ablution block at Amlo area in Chabanyama township of Chingola district at a total cost of six hundred thousand kwacha.
The facility has been constructed through the help of Chingola Constituency Development Trust- CCDT, Matty Investments and Authentix limited.
ZANIS reports that Mr. Nkhuwa said the residents have not had decent sanitation facilities and that the situation posed a risk to their lives as they were vulnerable to waterborne diseases.
He said a huge population shared a small and old ablusion block which did not have water and that the situation compromised the levels of hygiene.
And CCDT Vice Chairperson Fridah Chanda said the trust was accountable and ensured that the funds were put to proper use.
Meanwhile, Chingola District Commissioner, Agnes Tonga has commended the MP for ensuring that he has deliverd his campaign promise to construct an ablution in Amlo.
Really laughable ..look at this empty suit without G12 certificate …I doubt you even know what state of the art is at that price of K600,000…so his first name is “Matthew” and the company that funded this project in his constituency is “Matty Investments and Authentix limited”…there is no mention of the CEO in this article to handover the project.
These thieves have no shame at all….really laughable
Matty Investments is owned by Matthew Nkhuwa,…smells a rat.. where was Matt Nkhuwa all this time. Only appears in an election year….PF your time is very much UP.
inzaghiFMC – Apparently he is not contesting this time around because he doesn’t qualify he has no G12 certificate but his son is contesting hence all these donations…if you dig deeper you will find these are the companies that have been wining GRZ contracts without track record over the last 5 years. You wonder where ACC is…
Here is their Face-book page …. Matty-Investments-Limited
The Director is Mateyo Nkhuwa who must be his son …these are proxy companies
An ablution block for half a million? I don’t understand.
$80m solar plant planned for Chingola
Zambia Daily Mail. April 14, 2016. NKWETO MFULA, Chingola
A CHINGOLA-BASED company, Matty Investments has partnered with Metmecci Solar Energy Investments, a joint venture (JV) company with plans to construct a 50-megawatt plant at a cost of US$80 million.
The JV is between Met of South Africa and Mecci of Czech Republic, the world’s renowned solar companies and has since been incorporated in Zambia.
Matty Investments managing director Matthew Nkhuwa said in an interview yesterday that the solar plant is expected to feed into the national grid.
During the initial construction stages, the project will create 300 jobs and once completed additional 100 permanent jobs will be created.
He said Metmecci Solar has already put up an expression of…
He said Metmecci Solar has already put up an expression of interest to Government.
We have been shortlisted and currently waiting for tender documentations. If [we are] picked, we are going to go ahead with the project expected to be constructed and become operational within six months period, he said.
Let’s hope he will be the first one to use the toilets. The level of thinking of some of these politicians never cease to amaze me. Is this really news worthy? Chingola is a rich mining town, it would have been a booming metropolis in any other sensible country. You build toilets in a rich mining town and you call that progress? Where is all the money going from the mines?
Whatever happened to this $80 million Solar Project in Chingola …what is even baffling is Lazy Lungu appointing this business man as Energy Minister…when there is so much conflict of interest. I wonder how many Energy contracts have gone to Matty Investments. I am just connecting the dots online imagine what ACC can find if they were independent. This is why Lazy Lungu needs to be kicked out of the picture.
As long as as someone lookshumble in Zambia he can rule sleepy Zambians forever
Let’s give credit where it’s due. Other mps have literally done nothing in their constituencies.
K 600,000 for a toilet??? Must have a solid gold seat! When is Lungu coming to cut the ribbon and make a test run?
Hahaha…..That’s what Nkhuwa is good at.
Those that dont know Matthew Nkhuwa will say all the wrong things about him. Grade 12 or not, Matthew went into politics as an already made businessman, with his company Matty Investments already established within the coppebelt and further. His work and assistance to the community in Chingola is exemplary. Please do your homework before blindly commenting. Chingola constituency have lost a genuine leader due to this rubbish Gr12 requirement.
@The Patriot. True. I am sure that an ablution block is gold for these residents. But ablution blocks in the 21st century, sure?!? Why are they not using the Chinese to build prefab houses for Zambians and these be owned by the local councils? They are already at home here and are building for the Police. When is there going to be decent housing for ALL Zambians in this country, kanshi? Congratulations to the man but it sure makes for sad reading imo.
