Government
through the ministry of lands in collaboration with the ministry of chiefs and
traditional affairs has ordered a quick land audit to be carried on fox dale
area in Lusaka’s munali constituency immediately.
Lands
minister harry Kalaba and his counterpart at the ministry of chiefs and traditional
affairs professor nkandu luo called for the audit today when they toured the
area which has been embroiled in land wrangles due to displacement and illegal
land allocation.
Mr.
Kalaba says government will not let the situation get out of hand but will
ensure that all people involved in illegal land allocation are brought to book.
He
says it is unbecoming for indeginious people to get displaced each and every day
from their land by a few selfish individuals and this situation needs urgent
attention especially in traditional lands.
Mr.
Kalaba says there is need to take a quick audit of the land in fox dale area of
Lusaka and the number of indeginious people so that a solution can be found
quickly.
And
professor luo says there is need for people living on the various lands to turn
their natural resources into viable economic resources legally instead of
engaging themselves in illegal allocation.
Professor
Luo who is also munali constituency PF Member of Parliament says it due to
illegal land allocation which has resulted in her ministry to start engaging
various traditional leaders so that the best solution to the problem can be
found.
Meanwhile
some of the displaced people in the area have complained of over the situation
and called on their area member of parliament to sort out people in the area
who are selling land illegally.
