“The last regime borrowed a lot thereby affecting the economy, we have delivered the Ndola-Lusaka dual carriage project at half price under PPP, this is how government is working,” President Hichilema said.
He assured Copperbelt residents that the long awaited Ndola-Mufulira-Mokambo road would soon be worked on .
President Hichilema said plans to upgrade the road infrastructure leading to the border posts have advanced and this was aimed at decongesting the Kasumbalesa border facility.
He said border posts such as Sakania, Mokambo and Kipushi were critical in enhancing regional trade thereby boosting the country’s export base.
