A Matero constituency resident has started building a house on Desai Bridge constructed under the Constituency Development Fund.
Member of Parliament Miles Sampa who is also Commerce Minister was shocked when he found a house was being constructed right on the edge of the bridge.
“Desai Bridge CDF project, but only to find someone ‘smart’ decided to start building a house On the road. What to do?” reacted Sampa.
Sampa is one of the few Members of Parliament who has worked so hard to develop his constituency which is based in Lusaka, the Zambian capital.

Guys, guys! Look at the picture carefully and you’ll notice that the foundation and box for the house must have been there before the bridge and construction of the house is on hold! The article just wants to sensationalize the issue. Now that the road has to be constructed whoever had the plot for the house needs only to be allocated a new one! Please let’s not make it seem that the owner of the slab is heartless and among the illogical, let’s hear the story from his/her side. One would have thought Zambian Eye would have investigated to give us a wholesome story.
The PF thug wants the bridge to lead to his HOUSE.
Foolish kaponya, arrest the Idiot and Jail it like Masumba the forger who failed his exams at NIPA but went on to have a Matero Forged certificate.
jail these Idiots although they are the type SATA likes a fellow Kaponya and Grade 4 drop OUT.
tell that thug to go to hell.
Only pa Zed where someone can put up anything any time anywhere without the Local Authorities noticing!
Well done Miles for picking that up but go a little further and take the Council Chaps to task for sleeping on duty!
The residents also around this area should be charged for allowing such a thing to happen with their full knowledge.
They have also proved to be irresponsible!
Take the owner of the house to Chainama for mental assesment. If found normal put in jail & demolish ka structure. Will not allow such madness.
MILES COME RAIN COME SUNSHINE WE MATERO RESIDENTS WILL GIVE YOU A JOB IN ANY GOVRMENT TO COME CONTINUE YOUR GOOD WORK.
MATERO RES
Demolish the house and charge the cost of demotoon to that fellow. Also, please expose him. This kaponya mentality is damaging Zambia’s image. The State should do everything within the laws of Zambia to rid Zambia of uncivilised stone age behaviour. We are fed up of thieves, thugs and lumpens who think ruling parties are safe havens from which to commit all manner of dirty crimes. GRZ should be more serious on this matter. The behaviour of the Minister of Justice has not helped either. Would KK in his heydays have kept Hon. Kabimba on his Cabinet? Definitely not. What advice has KK given to President Sata regarding the public conduct of Ministers? I have no idea.
Demolish the house
