Government has promised to rehabilitate some damaged bridges and feeder roads in district following appeals from chiefs in the area.
North-Western Province Permanent Secretary, Bert Mushala made the promise to senior Chief Sikufele and Chief Kalunga when he paid courtesy calls on them at their respective palaces at the week end.
The two traditional leaders lamented that the development of Kabompo district was only concentrated along the Mutanda-Chavuma (M8) road from Musamba to Mumbeji while other areas are allegedly neglected.
They said three other important roads namely Kabompo-Zambezi via Chikenge, Nyela-Kayombo and Dikolonga has be left unattended to for a long time. The chiefs further said bridges at Kalwilo, Maveve, Nyela and Dikolonga also need repair.
In response, Mr. Mushala promised the chiefs that government will soon send experts to assess the extent of damage before works could begin this year.

Usual false promises by pf, the way we were cheated on 90days promises.

Just because there will be a by-election. MMD tactics. PF has no programme for Zambia
