UPND Chairman for Rural Reconstruction and Development Moono Mapani is urging Zesco to reduce the hours of load shedding considering the impact electricity has on national development.

Mr. Mapani says this year the country has witnessed good rainfall which will also see the water levels in Kariba Dam rise.

He laments that the power deficit has left many Zambians jobless while others are struggling to survive in their businesses due to non availability of power.

Mr. Mapani says the energy sector is one sector the country can take advantage of in growing the economy.
