LAFARGE ASSURED
By ZANIS:
Transport and Logistics Minister Frank Tayali has assured Lafarge that government will ease the company’s exports to the Great Lakes region.
Mr. Tayali says government will facilitate the smooth export of produce through Mpulungu harbor while plans of extending the railway line from Nseluka to Mpulungu for smooth transportation are underway.
He was speaking when a team from Lafarge paid a courtesy call on him at his office in Lusaka today.
The Minister said this will contribute to the preservation of the road network which succumbs to damage owing to heavy loads being transported.
And Mr. Tayali encouraged the firm to continue engaging government in a positive manner saying the doors of the Ministry are always open.
He also applauded the company for its safety record when transporting goods.
Meanwhile, Lafarge Supply Chain Director Obed Nkandu disclosed that the company is in partnership with over 35 transport firms.
