The Madimba Water Reticulation Project in Mwembeshi Ward 31 of Matero Constituency has officially been handed over to the community, following its successful completion under the 2023 Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
Lusaka District Commissioner, Dr. Rosa Zulu, who was represented by District Administrative Officer Mr. O’Neal, presided over the handover ceremony held earlier today.
Dr. Zulu commended the community for selecting a project that directly addresses a critical need, noting that the initiative will significantly improve water access in the area.
She disclosed that the project, valued at K383,529.50, comprises two solar-powered boreholes installed at Dina Kayimba and Chunga Secondary School.
“By investing in water infrastructure, the government is not only meeting a basic human need but also enhancing the overall well-being and productivity of the community,” Dr. Zulu stated.
Matero Member of Parliament, Hon. Miles Sampa expressed satisfaction with the development, describing it as a timely intervention to address persistent water challenges in the Ward.
Hon. Sampa noted that the use of solar-powered boreholes would ensure uninterrupted water supply, even during power outages.
He further urged residents to safeguard the infrastructure to ensure its sustainability and long-term benefit to the community.
