• Simon Mwewa lane Market is at 97% completion level.
• Once completed, it will be handed over to the ministry of Local Government.
• The Market is set to be completed by the end of May 2021.

Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU) says it has released an additional K5 Million for the completion of Simon Mwewa Lane Market in Lusaka’s Central Business District.

Speaking in an interview with Money FM News, DMMU Senior Communications Officer Matthews Musukwa said the market has reached 97 percent completion level.

Mr. Musukwa explained that DMMU Coordinator Chanda Kabwe visited the area last week where he released the K5 Million to finish up the market.

He added that once the trading place is completed by the end of May 2021, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Local Government.

“DMMU wants the Market to finish as soon as possible so that it can be handed over to Local Government as it under it,” Mr. Musukwa said.

Mr. Musukwa, however, said there is need to check the records on how much DMMU has spent on the market so far.
