‘’TRANSPORT, KEY IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT’’

Zambia’s High Commissioner to Botswana Robin Musakabantu says reliable and efficient transport is key to stimulating economic development in the country.
Mr Musakabantu said it is gratifying to note that Government has continued to create favourable investment climate in order to support and enhance private sector involvement in the economic development of the country.
The High Commissioner said this when he officiated at the end of year party for Thanks Transport Limited, a wholly Zambian transport firm, in Lusaka today.
He said Government is aware that stimulating growth in the transport sector is a critical element of any successful diversification drive in the country.
Mr Musakabantu urged the company to continue investing in its human resource development in order to enhance productivity and contribute to the attainment of a vibrant economy.
Speaking earlier at the same occasion,Thanks Transport Limited Director,Ackim Nyagonye lauded Government for working on road infrastructure countrywide.
Mr Nyagoye attributed reduced maintenance costs and traffic related accidents among the transporters to good roads.
He has since appealed to other transporters to be offering better working conditions to their workers if the sector is to retain good drivers.
