EXPEDITED MOBILE PHONE ROLLOUT ELATES BUSINESS COMMUNITY

The Zambia Association of Chambers of Commerce and Industry-ZACCI has expressed happiness at the accelerated mobile network rollout particularly in the rural areas.

ZACCI President Geoffrey Sakulanda attributes this to the statutory instrument recently passed by government which suspends duty on taxes related to Active and Passive GSM telecommunications equipment.

Mr Sakulanda says the measure which has been introduced through the ministry of Finance and National Planning will accelerate Tele-connectivity across the entire landscape of Zambia.

He adds that the development will grow the country’s tele -communication sector further.
