The Minister expressed his satisfaction with the contractor's progress and urged them to maintain close collaboration with the client to ensure the timely completion of the project. 

He reiterated the government's commitment to supporting such initiatives, which align with President Hakainde Hichilema's vision of improving access to clean water for all Zambians.

The Kazungula project, once completed, is expected to significantly improve the quality of life for residents by providing reliable access to clean water, a key component of the government's development agenda.

Minister Nzovu assured the contractor that they would be granted sufficient time to complete the project, emphasizing the importance of delivering a quality outcome that meets the needs of the community.

“This project is a testament to our commitment to innovative, sustainable solutions that benefit our people,” Nzovu added.

 “We look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on Kazungula and beyond.”

The government’s endorsement of the Kazungula project reflects its broader strategy to promote climate-smart initiatives and sustainable development across the country.
