Private Toll Gate Money will be shared with Govt – Milupi
Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development Minister CHARLES MILUPI says money from Toll Gates on roads that will be constructed by private partners will be shared with government during the concession period.
Mr. Milupi who is also the Vice Chairperson of the Ministerial Committee on Private Public Partnerships -PPPs- says government wants to do things differently and will soon determine what percentage of the Toll Fees will be paid to the treasury.
He said this in Mwinilunga when he checked on the 1-hundred Kilometer Mwinilunga -Kabimba road.
The highway branches off from the Solwezi-Mwinilunga road and connects Zambia to the Democratic Republic of Congo -DRC-.
And, Mr. Milupi said the DRC Lualaba Province Administration has expressed interest to work with Zambia on the construction of the stretch which will be a key export route for minerals from that country.
The Infrastructure Minister who has been on the Copperbelt and North Western Provinces to inspect various roads focused on creating new trade routes with the DRC and Angola has concluded his tour.
