Ministry of Lands Chief Planner John Phiri has asked Katete District Council to ask government for more funds and service land apportioned for development.
Speaking during a stakeholder’s consultative meeting on land policy yesterday, Mr. Phiri said government is clear on land and has directed all councils to only offer land for development once the plots are fully serviced.
Mr. Phiri wondered why it has taken Katete District Council a long time to complete servicing the plots under the Land Development Fund LDF in the district.
He advised that the council should invite the Ministry of Lands to go and evaluate how much work has been done on plot servicing and further ask for funds to complete the project.
