The fact that Zed money is being used is excellent but the concern is why a foreign company is being allowed to come and borrow our pension money, make a profit and Zambian companies are left without contracts.

Imagine the benefits if the borrower, consessionaire, is Zambian. It means all the menu collected in 22 yrs remains here to spurn development And not be externalized. Local companies will have capacity to build and run other roads etc.

In this case all this is going to China, USING our money

Yeah Full of unexplained jargon and irrelevant acronyms DBO, DBOM, DBLAH.
Precise explanations? Not true:
Let me define precisely the concept of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)
A Public Private Partnership (PPP) is a partnership between the public sector and the private sector for the purpose of delivering a project or service traditionally provided by the public sector. It recognizes that both sides have certain advantages and by allowing each to do what it does best, public services and infrastructure can be provided in the most efficient manner.
Therefore, PPP means an arrangement between the government (or statutory entity or government-owned entity) on one side and a private sector entity on the other, for the provision of
public assets and/or; and

If I may ask , Do you how NAPSA invests money for workers? Do you think that money is just kept in the bank for fun to raise interest for workers? It is invested in such projects and in offshore. NAPSA will earn interest for the use of their money. So where is the problem. PPP is working well in South Africa and Botswana. So what is the issue?

No construction company can come from Eygpt or UK or Italy to Zambia where are they going to lease heavy machinery from? The Chinks, the Chinese State companies….the problem we have with us Zambians is that we never empowered our companies over the years we were happy with useless subcontract works like digging drainage. We let the Chinks get rid of competition like Phoneix from Europe…we had no choice because we relied heavily on Chinese EXIM bank loans.

Now with the involvement of Napsa and no guarantee on toll fees this looks more like Napsa just hiring a contractor to build the road and then waiting for 22 years to recover their initial investment while the contractor goes with all the profits.
