By Tamara Muswala
The Kitwe City Council has withdrawn its offer of land to Nkana Water and Sanitation Company.
The land was meant for the construction of a 3.5 megawatts PV Solar Power Plant across the Kafue River.
Kitwe Town Clerk PATRICK KAMBITA says the land in question is private property.
Mr. KAMBITA says Nkana Water is however in talks with the owner of the said land and that the process to acquire it from the owner has reached an advanced stage.
He disclosed this during a full council meeting held in Kitwe.
The project to construct a PV Solar Power Project by Nkana Water is intended to cut electricity costs by about 50 percent.
