To prevent a cholera outbreak in the city, Vice President Mutele Nalumango has ordered the Lusaka City Council to hire outside businesses to clear trash in the CBD.
If the Local Authority does not have enough trucks to collect trash, Mrs. NALUMANGO claims it can subcontract to keep the Capital City clean.
She was speaking at the beginning of the campaign to clean up the drainage system in Lusaka.
According to Mrs. NALUMANGO, the Local Authority, which is under the Ministry of Local Government’s oversight, must do its part by removing trash from the city.
The Vice President’s participation in the cleanup effort, according to Lusaka Province Minister SHEAL MULYATA, will inspire citizens to take responsibility and clean their surroundings.
