government is ensuring that people are in tandem with strategic development
goal number 6 which calls for the accessibility of water.
Dr. Chomba says that Government
will erect Dams especially in areas such as the Eastern province which have
been stricken by the effects of climate change.
He has disclosed that government
has completed construction and rehabilitation of Dams such as Chikowa Dam in Mfuwe,
Chibalashi Dam in Mansa and many more in
Mwinilunga and Kasempa.
Dr. Chomba has hailed secretary
to the Cabinet Dr. Roland Musiska and President Edgar Lungu for ensuring that
the ministry delivers on its mandate to provide safe and clean water not only
for domestic use but also economic activities such as irrigation, to support
the Agriculture sector.
Last week government flagged off
the ground breaking ceremony of the construction of Kimilombe Dam in Kalumbila District Meant for
the people of Kimilombe village.

disclosed a 5.5 million Kwacha dam is being constructed by government in collaboration
with Lumwana Barick mining company in readiness for the next rainy season.
The permanent Secretary has since
made a clarion call to all members of the public to share ideas with his
