Government has warned against reviving chieftainship without the authority from the President.
Chief and Traditional Affairs Minister Nkandu Luo says only the Republican President has powers to bring to life a chieftainship that has been dormant through the chiefs act.
Prof Luo noted that any person that decides to revive a chieftainship without the authority from the President should be arrested.
She has since warned Chief Tindi to stop masquerading as a traditional leader adding that government is not aware of his existence and does not appear in the chief’s act.
ZANIS reports that the minister said this at the 2014 Malaila traditional ceremony of the Kunda people of Mambwe district in Eastern province yesterday.
Prof Luo alleged that her office had received reports that chief Tindi has been masquerading and is illegally allocating land to people meant for the game reserve area.
She further called upon the Ministry of Land to also investigate the reports and ensure that the land is reclaimed and directed law enforcement agencies to deal with the matter.
Speaking earlier, Senior Chief Nsefu appealed to government to quickly work on most infrastructures in the district.
The Traditional leader said this in speech read for him by the Malambo Cultural Association Chairperson Dr. Kwenda Kwema, at the occasion.
Chief Nsefu noted that Mambwe district has a lot of problems that requires urgent governments intervene.
He cited lack of a district hospital, poor road network between chiefdoms, persistent human-animal conflicts and food security as some of the many challenges that the area is facing.
She is not wanted any where near ku Lubemba, she is exceedingly disrespectful of Chitimukulu and henceforth she is loathed and abhorred and an outcast in Bembaland.
imwe teti muchipeleko ifumo chi madam ichi chaikalako pa nganda? natutinka!!!
@Zagaze hmmmmmmnnnn? why don’t you go and do her yourself? Even chiefs are backing off from Luo, what roots will you use to have energy to harmer her, she is as solid as a tortoise.
Professor Nkandu Luo, is it Barack Obama or Boko Haram?
LT, I command you to delete these @Zambian in Canada. We don’t like these kids to dent our beloved website.
This why so many people backed off today on this website.
Delete in forever!!
@Nostradamus, I understand your point, but my comment was made in relation to the recent gaffe Professor Nkandu Luo made about the great President(whose great and inspiring leadership and personal character I admire so much). My statement was meant to remind the professor to refrain from making public statements that may be embarrassing not only to her but to other people as well, intentionally or unintentionally. Well, probably it was unwise for me to repeat the gaffe that someone made in the past. It definitely may not be appreciated, especially by the person mentioned in the gaffe. Thanks Nostradamus, I have learnt something from your wise comment.
Very good ma’am. Please keep up the monitoring and prosecutions on illegal land distribution. I hope Chief Tindi faces the law as an example to Chiefs that break the law in this matter. Well done.
As long as u’ve got a problem with Sosala, I dont like u
Madam, I believe you said this in Mambwe at Malaila Traditional Ceremony for the Kunda speaking people. Please let Chief Tindi come back. This is what Chief Msoro needs. He has supressed his people so much and for too long. He has made sure that they remain primitive so that he continues to exploit them.
He does notwant a police post in his area because he thinks he will lose his powers of reaping from the already poor people.
VIVA CHIEF TINDI
