Lunte Member of Parliament Mutotwe Kafwaya
Government is working round the clock to diversify the operations of Zambia Engineering Services Corporation (ESCO) limited after the completion of the Kazungula Bridge Project scheduled for 2020.
Works and Supply Minister Mutotwe Kafwaya said this today after a familiarization tour of the ESCO Limited which operates the pontoons on the Kazungula border crossing point between Zambia and Botswana .
He says ESCO employees are government employees whose anxiety and expectations will be taken care of once the bridge is completed.
Hon. Kafwaya says the diversification programme for ESCO provides the continued survival of the Organisation as the expertise of it’s employees will be rendered in other parts of the country where the pontoons will be deployed.
The Minister was very categorical about the continued existence of ESCO limited saying it has a vibrant future and will continue to provide service to the Zambians.
He says his ministry is very much aware of the coming to an end of the use for the pontoons at Kazungula but that they will be deployed elsewhere in the country where there is demand for them.
The Minister also took time to inspect the works on the Kazungula bridge which is progressing very well.
