TEMBO.
POLICE on the Copperbelt have arrested four Italians for allegedly stripping assets and attempting to steal earthmoving equipment from the Pedicle Road construction site in Mufulira.
RDA recently terminated the contract awarded to Fratelli Locci, an Italian construction company, for the construction of the Pedicle Road at a cost of over K300 billion.
RDA head of public relations Loyce Saili and Copperbelt Police Commissioner Mary Tembo confirmed the development in separate interviews yesterday.
“We are still in the process of verifying what has gone missing at the site. We have to know what has been taken out… our regional engineer is at the police right now,” Mrs Saili said.
Ms Tembo also confirmed the arrest of the four Italians but was constrained to give more details.
RDA cancelled the contract awarded to Fratelli Locci for the construction of the Pedicle Road at a cost of over K300 billion following revelations that the procurement process in awarding the contract was flouted.
