The Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation (ZESCO) has written off all electricity bills incurred by Luanshya residents who were affected by the closure of Luanshya Copper Mine.

This came to light yesterday when Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili addressed a public meeting in his constituency at Chaisa complex grounds. Mr. Kambwili explained that the move came about after a thorough discussion with the Energy Minister.

He noted that at a time the mine was closed, a lot of people were out of employment making it difficult for them to settle their electricity and other bills.

ZANIS reports that Mr. Kambwili was, however, quick to urge the residents to pay their outstanding bills as the mine is now open and people have gone back to work.
Mr. Kambwili also directed ZCCM to ensure that all the people who bought mine houses are given title deeds by September this year.

He also emphasized on the importance of people paying their electricity bills saying it enables the utility firm run efficiently.
