—-Kalabo central UPND area Member of Parliament Chinga Miyutu has implored the Road Development Agent (RDA) to consider erecting a new bridge on the river connecting kalabo to Senanga districts, respectively.
Mr Miyutu said there is need for RDA to construct a good bridge so that the people of Kalabo and Senanga are not cut off during the rainy season.
ZANIS reports that Kalabo central UPND area Member of Parliament said this after touring the old worn bridge, yesterday.
He said the previous bridge erected was badly constructed hence the bridge did not last as it was washed away.
He maintained that the crossing point is cardinal and that RDA should act swiftly by putting a bridge that will stand the test of time.
Mr Miyutu, who is also deputy minister for Sport and Youth , lamented that the contractor engaged to construct the short lived bridge did a shoddy job.
He disclosed the bridge in question was washed away in the same year it was constructed.
