 A Civic leader in Mufulira has commended government for its tireless efforts in ensuring that local people access health services as closer to them as possible.
Kafue Ward Councillor, Kenneth Mubanga, told ZANIS in an interview today that the
donation of a clinic building to the Ministry of Health is a confirmation that
government is committed to fulfilling its mandate to provide quality health services
to the people.
Councillor Mubanga noted that the good relationship that government has maintained
with investors is bearing fruit as evidenced by the donation of the clinic by the
African Explosive Limited company to government.
He said his ward had no clinic for a long time, which forced people to walk long
distances to Kansuswa clinic which is five kilometers from his ward.
He added that the donation of the clinic to the area will alleviate the risk that
expecting mothers faced when accessing the antenatal services.
The clinic is also expected to service some Kitwe residents who reside across the
Kafue Bridge.
Councillor Mubanda also thanked government for providing staff to the clinic despite
the critical shortage of clinical staff that the health ministry is currently
facing.
The clinic was donated to government by AEL Zambia formally Kafironda Explosives
company in 2005, but could not open to the public due shortage of staff in the
district.
Zambian Journalists should be able to cite quotations like real journalists do. Put in quotes what the councillor said. Evelyn College doesn’t teach that anymore?
Ba Kenneth Mubanga! what are talking about? our government has failed in the health sectors! ba politicians ” ba nsala”?
How can a Civic Leader praise government for doing its job? Provision of health services near to the people is expected of government. LPM and group need not be given a pat on their backs for that. Let them do something good and outside their responsibility, like sorting out the mess in Mugabeland or sacrificing their wants the Mandela way…only then will they deserve praise. Otherwise all that Civic leader is doing is bootlicking. He doesn’t deserve to be a leader at all!
Chuchu and his people have failed this nation! Who should be praised? The giver or the receiver? The building is a donation to the govt! Shame ba politician babula inshila. Why should you be praised? Why.. I do’nt understand!
