Illegal bar dens, incomplete building on Katondo street still source of worry

Illegal bar dens outside Lusaka’s Stanley Bar and the incomplete 11-storey building on Katondo Street still raises serious concerns among members of the public.


However Ministry of local government and housing Permanent Secretary Amos Malupenga says discussions to find out positive means for the two structures are underway.

The unfinished building on Katondo Street, which has remained an eyesore for more than 25 years, is owned by Royal Lutanda Company Limited.

The structure was built at a cost of K400 million by the Zambia State Insurance Corporation ZSIC but efforts to complete the structure over the years have failed.

ZSIC later in 2000 sold the building at K800 million to another developer.

The building poses a danger to the public as it is used as a hideout for criminals and prostitutes while some street vendors sell and store their merchandise in the incomplete structure despite the threat of some blocks falling off the building.
