Western province minister Adons Mufalali is not happy with ZESCO’s failure to complete the street lighting project in Mongu district.
Mr Mufalali says government paid the electricity company K313 million sometime ago
and wondered why the project has taken long to complete.
The provincial minister is demanding an explanation from ZESCO management as to why
the project has stalled.
The minister also expressed displeasure at the works that ZESCO has so far done on the same project.
He told ZANIS in Mongu today that the power lines along the Mongu-Lusaka road were
too close to the road.
Mr. Mufalali said government’s plans to make part of the road into a dual carriage-way would be difficult to implement if ZESCO goes ahead to erect poles close to the road.
He has appealed to the electricity company to show professionalism in the execution of projects in the province.
ZANIS
It is very disheartening to note that no project has ever succeded in the Western Province.The place looks like it has been rocked by war for a long time and that it is not part of Zambia.Come elections Lozis will be used to rig elections.Mufalali please push Zesco to do a better job.
