matters of development so that they were in touch with him as Member of Parliament
for the area.

of development to report.  Even when I am not around they bring reprots to the
professional assistant here. I am happy that this is going on,” he said.

was a good initiative, which should be supproted by all.

And professional assistant (PA) Chibuye Chisanga, said many people from nearby
places flocked to the office to report various issues of development to him.
