Speaking when he called during Chikuni Radio Breakfast show yesterday, Mr. Habumbeni explained that during the PF rule, transport fare from Syampande to Monze was K60 but that it had since increased to K200 for a single trip.

He said villagers were now being subjected to paying K400 to travel from Syampande to Monze and back and that life had become expensive under the new dawn administration.

He complained that people in Syampande Ward depended on Monze for goods and services but many were now failing to reach the district because of the high transport fares.

Mr. Habumbeni said people in the area voted for positive change and hoped that the cost of living would reduce but alas, as things were getting worse by the day and making the lives of villagers more miserable.

And Mr. Habumbeni also explained that currently, there was no good road reaching Syampande area and people were now depending on water transport.

The headman has also called on government to tar Chisekesi-Chipepo road to easy the movement of the people in the district.
