The Law maker called on the local authority in Ikelenge district to start repositioning the border town for increased investment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery soon Jimbe border post will have a pipeline and rail line passing through it as a connection between Zambia and Angola, Ikelenge district will benefit from this investment that will transform life in Ikelenge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Muchima further urged management at the Ikelenge Town Council to ensure that its programmes support government\u2019s agenda of boosting trade between Zambia and Angola through the Jimbe border post.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ikelenge Town Council Chairperson Joe Chizuza who received the new TLB Front-hoe loader machine on behalf of the local authority pledged to give Ikelenge a facelift and ensure that the equipment is used for the intended purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bad state of roads in our constituency will be a thing of the past, we will ensure that this brand-new equipment is used for its intended purpose which is to deliver development to the people of Ikelenge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>And CDF Committee Chairperson Albetina Chitundu has hailed President Hakainde Hichilema for his continued support to local authorities countrywide through the CDF as the government\u2019s flagship development programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe TLB Front-hoe loader machine which we have procured at a cost of K1.4 million is equivalent to the CDF we were entitled to previously, but with increased CDF we can do much more and procure useful equipment and still remain with some money for other programmes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Chitundu said the committee will ensure that urgent programmes such as feeder roads are worked on to ease movements of goods and services in the district.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
