General Kanene I think you are confusing tuma million and ma billion. Zambia’s debt currently approx 27 BILLION United States Dollars (731.5 BILLION Kwacha). That is 1000 times higher than what you have said

Great thoughts. but who can sponsor such a road? can they get enough money to recoup their investment. Are there more vehicles to pay enough toll gates.

what’s international standard in your vocabulary? how is it different from the roads you are claiming are “not of international standard”?

If this can be tarred then it will ease the congestion on lusaka kabwe road as all those going to eastern province, airport, lusaka east etc won’t have to go to Lusaka but merely branch off from chisamba.

It often seems like the focus is on condemnation and skepticism, with some sharing negative “tundongodongo” stories that lack context. When will there be an opportunity for you to express positivity and appreciation for anything? This persistent negativity reflects a broader pattern that may impact your outlook of your life.

But why are you negative even when you haven’t seen the road itself? Why are you questioning his technical details level? If you have specific concerns regarding the “bituminous standard,” share them. Engaging in a constructive dialogue about the technical details can lead to a more informed understanding of the project’s merits and potential challenges, after which, we can understand your criticism
