Kalumbila to build 800 houses

KALUMBILA – Kalumbila Town Council will soon start the construction of 800 housing units under a public-private partnership (PPP) contract with TRANS Company.
Council chairperson Shadrick Munjunga said the initiative is aimed at addressing the accommodation challenge faced by council officers in the district.
Mr Munjunga said in an interview that once completed, the project will also increase revenue base for the local authority as some houses will be rented out.
He said the local authority is committed to provision of quality services to the people, hence the need to come up with projects which will enhance the revenue base.
Mr Munjunga said work on the project, whose amount he did not disclose, is expected to commence in a few months’ time.
And residents of Kandundu and Mushitala in Solwezi are elated by the construction of the Kandundu bridge.
Kandundu Ward Development Committee chairperson Cephas Chimwasu said construction of the bridge will help in curbing cases of people drowning while accessing
the crossing point.
“I applaud Government for prioritising development in local communities and ensuring distribution of equitable resources in all constituencies,” he said.
