Mongu District Commissioner Jethro Mumbuwa has appealed to the Mongu Municipal Council to ensure that the town is clean before the Kuomboka ceremony.
Mr. Mumbuwa said there is need for the local authority to conduct regular inspections on facilities such as markets to ensure that they are in a good state ahead of the ceremony.
He was speaking when he inspected works on Tungi, Helen and Yeta township roads in Mongu.
Mr. Mumbuwa charged that the town was in a filthy condition and needed the attention of the council.
He said this is the only way the local authority can prove that it is responsive to the needs and demands of the people.
Meanwhile, Mr. Mumbuwa has commended Mongu Municipal Council for working on township roads in the district.
Mr. Mumbuwa said he was happy that the council has taken action by gravelling Tungi, Helen and Yeta township roads.
The DC said the council should take keen interest in dealing with community works so that they can reduce the tension they have with the community in the district.
He also called on the local authority to ensure that the township roads are completed by 14th February this year so that they can be handed over to the community.
Mongu Municipal Council is currently working on a number of township roads in some parts on the district with funding from the Constituency Development Funds ( CDF).
ZANIS
All towns including Mongu,kasama,Solwezi etc must be clean at all times irrespective of Cultural ceremonies taking place.
Most of our leaders only wake up from self induced slumbers at the time of Elections or Major ceremonies.
This must come to an end!! We need leaders who lead daily.
