MINISTER MILUPI PUSHES FOR FASTER COMPLETION OF KATETE-CHANIDA ROAD PROJECT
Hon. Eng. Charles Lubasi Milupi, Minister of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development, has urged the Concessionaire to accelerate progress on the Katete-Chanida Road project in Eastern Province.
"This is a critical road, with about 70 percent of the full stock from the Port of Beira transported via this route. To grow the economy, we must strengthen trade with our neighbors, and that requires efficient road connectivity," said Minister Milupi.
The project, implemented under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) financing model, includes rehabilitation of the road and construction of a new border facility at Chanida to One Stop Border Post (OSBP) standards. Approximately K110 million worth of works have already been executed, with completion expected early next year.
"Quality and safety standards must remain paramount throughout the project," said RDA Board Chairman Eng. Eugene Haazele. He also appealed to local communities to safeguard road signage and installations.
