Government has released K70-million to the National Road Fund Agency- NRFA- for the payment of redundancy packages to all toll collectors who have opted to separate from the agency.
NRFA- Public Relations Manager ALPHONSIUS HAMACHILA says this is ahead of the takeover of Katuba, Manyumbi, and Kafulafuta toll gates by macro ocean investment consortium this Saturday.
Macro Ocean Investment Consortium is the concessionaire upgrading the Lusaka Ndola road to a dual carriageway.
Mr. HAMACHILA said the 127 staff affected by job losses will be given an opportunity to continue working at the agency and redeployed in other toll gates across the country.
