Mr. Chanda was optimistic that the opening of the ablution block, which comes with a borehole and a complete reticulation system, will play a crucial role in addressing challenges associated with inadequate water and sanitation facilities at the market.

He appealed to the Morning Market traders and the local leadership to take good care of the facility which should not be vandalized but instead guarded jealously.

“The only opened ablution facilities is also going to benefit motorists and commuters using the Luanshya Masaiti-Mpongwe road, who will now have access to clean and safe drinking water, decent toilets, showers and hand wash basins conveniently situated near the main road.”

“The development being witnessed in Luanshya in the recent past is a clear testimony that the promises made by President Lungu through the local government candidates during the run-up to the 2016 elections are now being fulfilled through various programmes being implemented by the local authority,” Mr. Chanda noted.

And Luanshya District Patrick Maipambe has commended Luanshya Municipal Council for having a pro-active approach in addressing various social-economic problems being experienced by residents in the area.
