He also said that women and young people were supported with grants and loans to help them grow existing businesses and to start new ones. The Chairperson added that thousands of vulnerable people in Chitambo benefited from cash for work programs during his time.

On water supply, he explained that through his discussions with the Lukanga Water and Sewerage Company, a commercial borehole was drilled. He said it is now waiting to be equipped and connected to the supply system.
