LUNDAZI Central UNIP member of parliament Mkondo Lungu has said the electrification of Mwase sub-centre would help boost development in the district. And Lungu said the government has released K345 million for the rehabilitation of Nyangwe airstrip in senior chief Mwase’s area.
Commenting on the recent release of K3 billion under the Rural Electrification Programme to connect Mwase sub-centre to the national grid, Lungu said the electrification project had come at the right time.
He said Lundazi was a rich agricultural area and could positively contribute towards the economic development of the country.
He appealed to the government to find credible contractors to work on the Chipata-Lundazi road so that it could have a longer life span.
Lungu said the Chipata-Lundazi road had become a death trap although it was worked on two years ago.
And Lungu said the rehabilitation of the Nyangwe airstrip would start this year following the release of K345 million.
“We received this money last November but works could not start because that was the time rains were starting so the work would now start once the rains subside,” he said.
Lungu said the provincial administration had already found a contractor for the airstrip project.
