ππππππ ππππ β Kabushi Constituency Member of Parliament Tillas Titus Sichinga has described markets as the heartbeat of communities, saying they play an important role in supporting livelihoods and local economic activity.
Sichinga said this on Friday during a familiarisation tour of Lubuto and Kabushi Markets, where he interacted with marketeers and assessed infrastructure and challenges affecting traders.
At Lubuto Market, Sichinga said the newly constructed market structure was 95 percent complete, adding that its completion would provide traders with improved trading facilities.
He, however, identified the dumpsite as the biggest challenge facing marketeers at Lubuto Market.
Sichinga said the issue requires attention to improve sanitation and the general environment around the market.
He later toured Kabushi Market, where he also engaged marketeers on their concerns and infrastructure needs.
The MP said he would look into the possibility of having a similar market structure constructed at Kabushi Market using Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
Sichinga said his office would continue engaging marketeers to better understand their needs and identify practical interventions for the two markets.
