RTSA PRESENCE IN MWINILUNGA ELATES MOTORISTS
MOTORISTS in Mwinilunga have expressed happiness with the establishment of a Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) service centre in the area.
The motorists in the rural district had to travel to Solwezi to access motor vehicle fitness and road tax certificates among other services.
With the opening of the RTSA service centre, motorists would have access to the services within the district.
Some motorist spoken to said some challenges they previously encountered such as vehicles being impounded for not having RTSA documents would now be a thing of the past.
“It has been hard for us to replace documents such as motor vehicle fitness certificates whenever they expired. We had to spend extra money on transport and sometimes accommodation just to access these documents in Solwezi which cost only 47 kwacha,” Misheck Ilunga lamented.
Mr Ilunga urged insurance companies to consider establishing permanent presence in the district so that access to motor vehicle insurance services could be available.
Meanwhile, RTSA District Coordinator, Kingston Kayombo, said financial transactions would be processed by individual motorists and only present valid deposit slips before the documents could be processed.
Mr Kayombo encouraged motorists to utilize the newly launched RTSA online payment portal to access other services such as driver’s license renewal among others.
