Two toilets collapse at police post

TWO toilets have collapsed at Mulenga compound police post in Kitwe following the heavy rains in the area.

As a result, the Community Crime Prevention Unit (CCPU) has asked for help from well- wishers and stakeholders,

Mulenga compound CCPU chairman, Martin Lupiya, said the two toilets collapsed on Sunday following heavy rains in the area and so it was urgent that the facilities were reconstructed.

Mr Lupiya said the two toilets were the only facilities that officers and other people use , hence the urgent need to repair them. He was speaking when Kamfinsa constituency aspiring candidate, Kelvin Chipili, visited the area on Sunday.

Mr Lupiya said he was asking for help from Mr Chipili because he had always been instrumental in supporting various community projects in Mulenga compound and Kamfinsa constituency in general.

"Despite these rains, you decided to come and see what has befallen us when you were informed that two toilets at the police post have collapsed. You have always demonstrated a good heart for the people

"This is why we are now asking you to help us to reconstruct these two collapsed toilets. This place being a police post, it is Important that the toilets are reconstructed quickly. Your support will be greatly appreciated," Mr Lupiya said.

In response, Mr Chipili said he was humbled by the confidence the residents had shown in him and promised to reconstruct the toilits and said he will always try his best to prove his capacity to deliver development.

Mr Chipili said more than K10,000 would be spent on the reconstruction of the two toilets and promised to put up quality works that would stand the test of time.

He said that the project required team work support from residents and other stakeholders.

"What is important is to be committed to whatever we are doing. We need to work together and ensure that whatever project we have is successful. For this project, I will try my best to put up quality works that would stand the test of time.

"I am so humbled by the confidence you always show me. I can tell you that these collapsed toilets will be reconstructed at more than K10,000," Mr Chipili said.
