PRESIDENT Banda will today launch the Roma Industrial and Commercial Park, which is expected to generate more than 4,000 permanent jobs once fully developed.
The park is one of the multi-facility economic zones and industrial parks Government is establishing around the country and will, in the construction period, provide up to 2,000 jobs.
This is contained in a statement issued in Lusaka on April 14 by special assistant to the President for press and public relations Dickson Jere.
“The project, which is a joint venture between foreign and local entrepreneurs, is in line with President Banda’s pledge to diversify Zambia’s investment and development programmes with the objective of promoting value addition to the economy,” Mr Jere said.
He said the park will have its own residential and suburban living places, commercial units, shopping mall, office complex, warehousing, filling station and many more facilities, and is designed to become one of the first mixed-use developments in Zambia.
Mr Jere said President Banda has continued to stress his commitment to creating an environment in which Zambians will have jobs which will eventually contribute to better standards of living for all citizens, regardless of which region they come from.
“The Roma Industrial and Commercial Park provides yet more tangible evidence of the President’s unfailing determination to build tomorrow’s Zambia in which employment opportunities are made available for nearly every Zambian,” he said.

Thanks for more development His Excellency RB.
I have also seen some development in Lusaka after Kabwe roundabout. All this is happening because of the hard working Government of RB
Good Job RB…
Change is in the air!!!! abash Doggy Mail
Stupid kind of reporting.. where will it be situated?
Fantastic news. This is what Zambia needs. More development and job creation for the nation.
# Good news indeed…RBB Goooooooooo!!!!!!! simply no competition. Its called Roma, so it will be in Roma. Duh

Cwe-cwe-cwe-cwe. Viva RB, viva MMD
where is the location? Useless reporting
location, location, location:((
No problem, Sata will continue with all these projects. Tired of One party parcipatory democracy.
I like the attire of the people greeting RB giving him a strong red card while him smiling. RB kuyabebele.
PF Kaponyas whats yo comment?
Viva RB
PF dunder heads think SATA could be a new brush. That is the height of folly. Sata is already tired and sick yet they think he is fresh blood. I am just sick and tired of this tribal deceit. We know it is just Bemba’s who support this Sata.
Mulifupuba pa Zambia! Why would you be jumping around about 4000 casual or contract jobs? A country is built by having a larger permanent middle class that is created from small businesses. The contractor will make his money and take it hope and he will leave those workers with a false hope of job security. # 15 there is no tribalism in PF, Inonge Wina is a Lozi, Guy Scot is white, Given Lubinda is half Lozi, Panji is Easterner what the hell are you talking about?
This is not RB’s doing. The investors are always looking for opportunities to make money, and they know that they can do so in Zambia.
good job but we will do better. we will finish these projects after MMD leaves office this year.
Unworried Bachellor.i
Inonge wina is Satans in law.Check the facts.No more old,freedom fighters.We appreciate what they did.Now its a global world and issues are complex than during their era.I have been reading about these freedom fighters since time in memory.More,especially the coined word THE YOUTH ARE THE FUTURE LEADERS OF TOMMOROW when in UNIP.I think we should be the leaders now.Not the VJs,MUNKOMBWE,SATAs,BANDAs (william and RB) etc./VIVA HHHHH,VIVA Fresh blood.You think OBAMA,CAMEROON,HU JINTAO etc can fail to climb stairs
He is dancing WITH RED CARDS, RED SHIRTS,RED CAPS – he is deserting MMD mad Dogs!!!
He is being welcomed to the RED FOLD!!!!
Where, when? Don’t just rush to write Jere’s praise songs to his boss, give us more details first!
Last year at Kuomboka he couldn’t wear red and this year he is scared to go!
It is after Roma Parish as you go towards Ng’ombe. It is on that empty piece of land to the East of Roma Girls.
I like the picture too! Its a sure RED Card and his $56million hospitals he’s subjecting the nation to and we have to pay for this loan
Why is Western Province the issue? Is it because Rupia Banda hates lozis and it is Michael Sata who loves them. I am sure that the good people of Western Province know the truth. In 2008, Mr Fred Mmembe reported that there was Satamania in Western Province. Mr. sata got zero. Mr. Mmembe is back trying to force hatred on the good people of Western Province. He will be disappointed. Rupia is building the most expensive road (K1.3 trillion) ever in the history of Zambia in Western Province and all of the people can see it.
for those asking ROMA commercial and industrial park is in kabwata……..retards
RB you can be launching every day if you want, but Kuya BEBELE mwandi bu dementia bwachila.
