He assured the workers who are working at the hydro power station that complaints about poor conditions of service will be addressed.

He disclosed that Itezhi-Tezhi Secondary School was nearing completion and scheduled to be opened next year.

And Zesco Managing Director Cyprian Chitundu said about 73% of works at the hydro station has been completed and the project is scheduled to be commissioned sometime in October next year.
