By IREEN MULENGA
Minister of Youth Sport and Arts Elvis Nkandu says Government is commitment to improving infrastructure development in the country.

Mr Nkandu said the slow pace in infrastructure development has been hampered by huge debts that government inherited since ascending to power.

He said Zambians need to be patient with the new dawn administration as it means well for the nation.

The Minister said that Government is trying to dismantle the debts in order to have excess funds to be channeled towards infrastructure development with sports inclusive.

“ We have inherited an economic which was destroyed completely, the new Government is trying to fix  the huge debts left by PF government, a lot money is going to service the debts about 70 percent, so if we fix it the debts then the money can be channeled to infrastructure,” he said.
