Hon. Miles Sampa, Matero Member of Parliament selects to pass on his gratuity to economically empower youths both in Matero and other parts of Zambia. Hon. Sampa is also deputy minister in the Ministry of Commerce,trade and Industry.
“INDO Bank this morning issued a cheque to me for K250,000 being a loan to be repaid from my MP gratuity this year. I have elected to pass on my gratuity to economically empower the youths of Matero by launching Metro Cab company which will run as a cooperative. The beneficiaries of the Metro cabs will pay into the Metro Cab account at INDO Zambia bank a weekly fee of K600. The income generated from these taxis will enable us to buy additional taxis to empower more youths. After 3 years, the white book of each vehicle is changed from MetroCab to individual driver's names.”he says.
Hon. Sampa says Metro Cab will role out new 10 more Metro cabs to the youth.
“I am committed to economically empowering the youths both in Matero and other parts of Zambia starting with the 10 youths given the cars today. From a sample of 50 from George, Lilanda, Chunga and Emmasdale areas, 10 Youths were randomly picked by a raffle conducted in front of media for transparency and to ensure beneficiaries are not on party lines. In September when I expect my full gratuity, Metro Cab will role out new 10 more Metro cabs to the youth.”he says.
