THE Patriotic Front (PF) Government has linked all towns in the country because of the robust road infrastructure development programme that it has prioritised.
Information and Broadcasting Services Minister Chishimba Kambwili said the Government was boasting of the road infrastructure development because it had delivered and that was evident for all to see.
Dr Kambwili said when he featured on a special interview on SUN FM Radio in Ndola that the party had delivered on many promises since it formed Government.
He said despite Zambia being a landlocked country, road infrastructure development had linked towns and made it easy for people to move around and do their day-to-day activities.
Dr Kambwili said Zambians should vote the PF Government for it to complete many other projects that it had embarked as per promise to the people of Zambia.
“If you talk about the roads for PF, it has delivered. If I start giving you the roads that we have built, it will take two days. We have built roads to connect Zambia which was land locked but today it
is land-linked. When we came into power we told the people that we were going to construct 8,000 km of roads to connect towns to one another and we did just that,” Dr Kambwili said.
He said the Government had promised that it would build 2,000 km of township roads using the Pave Zambia which he said was being done.
Dr Kambwili said many towns and rural areas had witnessed road infrastructure development and that an improvement had also been seen n Solwezi and Chingola.
“Today when you go to Roan and Luanshya constituencies, Ndola, Lusaka, Mufulira, Mazabuka and Choma among many other towns we have constructed township roads.
Only Chingola has lagged behind because of the contractors who were not doing a good job but I can safely tell you that there is an improvement, the roads have started coming up in town,” Dr Kambwili said.
He said the PF Government had built township roads which nobody had ever thought would be built.
