North Western Province Minister Nathaniel Mubukwanu says the Solwezi Chingola road has become a highly politicized matter as if it is the Patriotic Front government that caused the road to be in a deplorable state.
Mr. Mubukwanu has told Qfm in an interview that succesful governments have turned a blind eye to the road citing that it is only now that the PF government has decided to pay full attention to the road.
Mr. Mubukwanu notes that government has thus decided to engage the services of a third contractor with the view of speeding up the construction works on the road.
He adds that President Micheal Sata has also taken personal interest in the road and wants to ensure that the road is done to the best of standards and without further delays.
Mr. Mubukwanu explains that now that the rain season has gone, the works have resumed citing that he is hopeful that the contractors will put up a good job.
He further states that once the road is completed, they believe that the number of road traffic accidents that are currently happening on the road will be reduced and that transportation will be faster.

i have been on the road myself and i kno its bad bt u re always subjective. u shud try to be level headed atleast for once. if i knew u in person, i wud show u the contribution of the mines to the national treasury in figures and u wud see that its marginal. the problem is that u like talking about matters u dnt understand.

True Jamakundi, though I may have not been on that road (in your mind) it still was going to be irresponsible for PF to take up every IMPORTANT road in the nation at once. Albeit, the first phase is not yet past, could we not wait & see which the next priority will be?

Priorities are clearly misplaced. the solwezi road is as vital as kitwe/chingola if not more urgent.

Ulabeja ebo jamakundi. The Chingola-Kt road was too small, thus, offloading more traffic on it by building your ‘interest’ road may have meant losing that same ‘revenue’ through accidents (more catastrophic). Thus, the need to prep-up the existing one. Try driving on the Cn-Ktk road between 17 & 20 hrs.

I have FOUND that this man belongs to the MENTAL BLOCK at CHAINAMA. His statements lately are that of a MAD MAN and needing no attention, but again if left UNANSWERED, he may continually lead the path of NORMAL people. He MUST be declared OFFSIDE!

All the MP is saying is that yes the road is pathetic quiet alright, but the PF is giving it priority!…imwe fyonse kuponta fye…and I think jamakudi, you are the worst ever being to have dirted this site, please evolve into a better class of being!
