Lusaka, 27th August 2021: The Zambia Tax Platform (ZTP) has called on the Government to amend the Tolls Act of 2011 and NRFA Act to harmonize the usage of revenues collected from toll fees with; road maintenance and rehabilitation projects only. The platform maintains that use of tolls exclusively for road maintenance and rehabilitation can improve management and transparency is in accordance with the principle rationale of tolling i.e. that those using roads must be in fact bare the cost of maintaining the roads. ZTP has stressed that the use of toll fees towards this purpose is also critical in restoring public confidence in the tolling program.
