WE NEED TO FIND LONG LASTING SOLUTIONS TO FLOODING – HH


President Hakainde Hichilema has underscored the need to invest in the engineering and technology sector to ensure that lives and infrastructure are protected against flooding.


Hichilema says Zambians must focus on long-lasting solutions to flooding such as building quality infrastructure.


He was speaking on Sunday after he visited areas that have been ravaged by floods in the Central and Southern parts of Zambia.
The Head of State remarked that he was visiting these areas to appreciate challenges citizens are facing, adding that government remains determined to ensure that they are addressed decisively.


He states that government has called for concerted effort among all uniformed men and the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit – DMMU to ensure that disasters are faced head-on.


He says he is saddened to hear stories of a mother giving birth in a tent provided for by the DMMU after her family got displaced by floods.
He considers this as a strong reminder that all Zambians must look out for one another.
