“We have heard what the community is saying and roads and footpaths are their priority but we are putting more effort on roads at this point. This is a real Government commitment working to improve the welfare of its people and beneficiaries can attest to these positive developments,” Ms Chilufya said.
She said that roads to be worked included Nelson Mandela, Chibwe, and Kansenshi in-fill and Kansenshi extension.
She has appealed to residents in the area to unblock drainages and help in the maintenance of the area saying Government alone could not solve challenges faced by communities but that it was incumbent upon residents to get on board. “But when roads are worked on, let the community help with unblocking drainages,” she said.
