LOCAL government minister Sylvia Masebo has directed councils in the country to immediately conduct inspections to identify illegal lodges and restaurants with a view to closing them down.

Masebo said yesterday that it had come to her attention that there were many illegal guesthouses, restaurants and lodges operating throughout the country contrary to the provisions of the town and country planning Act Cap 283 of the Laws of Zambia.

She said many houses had illegally been changed into lodges, restaurants and guesthouses.

Masebo said the inspections would be carried out with a view to closing them down until they satisfied the provisions of the law.
