Over twenty Members of Parliament today visited the Kariba Dam to have a first hand sense of the load shedding problem that has engulfed the country.
Siavonga District Commissioner Lovemore Kanyama has told QFM News via telephone that the MPs were from the PF, MMD and UPND.
Mr. Kanyama says the MPs were accompanied by some officials from ZESCO and Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) and Energy and Water Development Minister Christopher Yaluma.
Mr. Kanyama is hopeful that the MPs will help government and other stakeholders in educating the people about what is causing load shedding in the country.
He says now that the MPs have seen for themselves the low water levels in the Kariba Dam, it will be easier for them to communicate the messages to their people.
The Siavonga District Commissioner has since urged opposition political leaders and other concerned stakeholders to visit the power generation sites so that they too get to sense of the load shedding problem.
