He said that the corporation intended to source for more resources to support the effort.
The ZESCo Managing Director who led a team of Senior Officers from Zesco Limited to clean the market, and present cleaning utensils emphasized the need for all well-meaning Zambians to join the fight by ensuring that there is strict adherence to all the infection control and prevention measures put in place by the government through Statutory Instruments (SIs) numbers 21 and 22 of 2020.
“As a corporation, we care for the health and wellbeing of our customers and as such, there is need for all of us to maintain high levels of hand hygiene by regularly washing hands with soap and clean water, adherence to social distancing of at least one meter from the next person and ensuring frequent use of alcohol based hand sanitizers to mention but a few,” Mundende said.
In a statement made available to the Zambian Business Times – ZBT, he further reiterated the need for all Zesco customers to use online platforms for business transactions to minimize overcrowding of Zesco offices including walk-in Customer Service Centers.
