Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo has
announced that State and Council police officers will soon
start arresting those found littering the city.
Mr Lusambo said the clean standards that Lusaka has now assumed following a massive clean by the defence forces
should be maintained.
He said he will soon be meeting Council management to devise strategies to ensuring that the new Statutory
Instrument on public cleanliness is enforced.
Mr Lusambo said was speaking on Government Forum
television programme on ZNBC TV last evening.
He said the PF administration is focused on transforming
Lusaka city into a modern city that every one will be proud
of.
Mr Lusambo said the culture of littering should now come
to an end.
“I get shocked that the same Zambians when they travel to
cleaner cities in neighboring countries such as Bostwana,
they are so proud of such cleaner cities that they even take
selfies there but when they come back here, they are the
first to throw litter everywhere and they start telling us how
beautiful Bostwana is. Why can’t we be proud of our city
and maintain cleanliness,” Mr Lusambo stated.
He said it is unfortunate that some donated litter bins in the
Central Business District have already started getting full.
Mr Lusambo said one of his main focus will be to ensure
that there is a mindset change among Lusaka residents
regarding cleanliness in the city.
