Our main purpose here was to and check how local contractors here are performing in terms of construction works, general construction works be it roads, buildings, etcetera, etcetera<\/p>\n<p>Edgar Lungu\u2019s daughter went to meet her father\u2019s friend. She and others went there to apparently learn about \u201ctransport efficiency\u201d and how it can be used here at home; in Zambia !!!<\/p>\n<p>Some social media users said Kalimbwe was out of order with some urging president Hichilema to reign in him.<\/p>\n<p>Hon Mubika Mubika is the Head of a Zambian MPs delegation. He is @UPNDZM MP and a deputy Min of Communication &amp; Transport. His delegation was excited by our progress in infrastructural dvpt. @joseph_kalimbwe isn\u2019t happy &amp;he decided to attack Lungu\u2019s daughter, Tasila mere member of the delegation. To me, it\u2019s an indirect attack on President @HHichilema who sanctioned the wisdom seeking trip. This is the culture that Gift Ostalos Siziba is being initiated into.<\/p>\n<p>President @HHichilema should rein in Kalimbwe, he is just a loose cannon.<\/p>\n<p>Zimbabwe is in the process of rehabilitating all major roads after President Mnangagwa in 2021 declared a state of national disaster on all the roads by promulgating SI 47 of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>There are also efforts to revive the railway system and rehabilitate airports which both have been in poor condition for years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
