MP REFUTES CLAIMS ON ZAMBIA-KIMASALA ROAD WASHED OFF
Solwezi Central Member of Parliament Stafford Mulusa has refuted social media reports alleging that the Zambia-Kimasala road under construction by JDCon Zambia construction company was washed off due to poor quality work following the Saturday, October 25th, downpour.
Social media reports indicated that the Zambia-Kimasala road, which is one of the roads being constructed under the 10.1-kilometer Solwezi township roads project funded by the central government, was left dilapidated after heavy rains which were experienced in Solwezi yesterday.
However, speaking to the media in Solwezi today, Mr Mulusa clarified that the road remains intact, explaining that the minor damage witnessed is normal as it is near the bridge.
“The corrosion that we saw is just before the bridge which is normal because there is a bridge that is being made so they have left a space in between for the bridge to be completed,” he said.
