Works on Samfya Road to Commence Once Funds Are Available

Minister of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development says works on the construction of Samfya road in Lubuto Ward of Kabushi Constituency, at an estimated cost of K2.5 million will commence once funds are available.

Speaking in Parliament during the question for oral answer session, Charles Milupi however says Ward Development Committees are free to use the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) to finance the project, provided all the procedures are followed.

Engineer Milupi states that the road condition survey which was conducted by Road Development Agency (RDA) in 2009, revealed that 6 percent of the urban and township roads were in a very bad state.

He adds that the Government came up with the Pave Zambia 2, 000 project which was conceptualized by RDA to improve the state of the urban road network, while creating employment opportunities for young people in the country.

Engineer Milupi was responding to Kabushi Member of Parliament, who wanted to know when the construction of Samfya road in Lubuto Ward of Constituency will commence and what the cost of the project is.
