STOP SUBJECTING OUR PEOPLE TO HEALTH RISKS - BWALYA
Local resident Bwalya Mwape has urged the Siavonga Council to fast-track the construction of the Chimutengo Market, citing safety and health concerns at the temporary site. Mwape expressed disappointment over the council's handling of the project, saying traders are not safe due to inadequate facilities.
If they can't start construction, let them take the people back before the rains come," Mwape said. Ward Development Committee Chairman Agent Hanchemba echoed Mwape's concerns, citing the theft of metal polls at the Monday Market construction site. The council is urged to prioritize the project and start construction soon to minimize disruptions to traders and the community.
