Four people are reported to have died of diarrhoea in the recent past in Chief Chama’s area of Kawambwa district.
The four suspected victims are reported to have died in Katota and Chama areas between December 8 and December 18, 2008.
Chief Chama of the Chishimba people in Kawambwa revealed this to Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS) yesterday.
And Chief Chama has attributed  the death of his subjets to lack of trained health personnel at Chibote and Chama rural health centers.
Chief Chama said many people in his chiefdom were also dying from different diseases because the untrained staff cannot attend to them, espeially if there are complicated cases.
He also said some of his subjects do not have transpsort to take their sick relatives to the Boma which is abaout 115 kilometers from his area.
And the chief explained that Mambwe rural health centre has not been opened since it was build two years ago beause  no personnnel has been sent there yet.
Chief Chama said it is a pity to note that people in the area are being denied health services despite government putting up a permanent health institution.
He wondered why the Ministry of Health has not taken interest to send health personnel to Mambwe health centre, describing the situation as sad.
“People need provision of health services closer to them and the health center that had been built in Mambwe will be the waste of resources if government will not send staff  there”, said chief Chama.
The traditional leader observed that some people might start vandalizing the building if it is not occupied.
When contacted for a comment about the deaths, District Health Director, Dr Earnest Mwila, said his office has not received such a report.
Dr. Mwila said the deaths could have been caused by something else and not an epidemic because his office is sensitive.

#5 SAM. let me just answer a phone call. then I will put you where you belong.

This type of story is becoming common in Zambia – events get to the news agencies before the ministry is aware of their occurence. What’s happening? Is govt and it’s ministry’s not ‘present’ where people live? Where do they live? It’s no wonder that they build a Clinic and forgot about it! maybe LT should be govt.
Just been seeing the front page of The Post Lux like RB’s family are carrying out very expensive experiments at the airport. They were experimenting with waving at hungry crowds. They seem surprised that nobody was interested in waving back at them. They simply do not listen, MMD and RB. Dreamer of dreams that I am, I wrote to them exactly two weeks ago, telling them that the charisma of an overfed politician will melt before the hungry and angry. OK
And SAAM (#5) – blogging is about sharing ideas while having fun!
Pinkly and Sam. I think I wont respond to yo baffoonery

Pinkly Lady Chiza is a very sad man. A very miserable little person seeking attention.
They say in Shona: “Mukasekerera benzi parufu rinotiza nechitunha.” Loosely translated, this means that entertaining a fu can have dire consequences, and in this case he will steal the corpse at a funeral.

I am currently dating a 34-year-old guy who is very loving and caring to me. However, he is very cautious and secretive about his past relationships never talking about them except for this one lady. The bitter bit is that everywhere I look there are reminders of her, which include presents and souvenirs with romantic love messages.
what is the way to a woman’s heart kanshi?

Bushe ulimwaume iwe lady chiza?:-?
Sata killed over 500 people in Kitwe in 1993 when he was Health Minister under Chiluba. :o:o:o:o:o
Sata killed cholera patients in Kitwe
iwe lady chiza, shi teti wateka amatako panshi??? Ala ulenunka kwati fi masabi fya bola!!
Where have all health workers gone??? Rural areas need attention as well not only the urban areas. Thoough they dont learn voting for useless people. Politicians reward the ruralees.
‘Four people are reported to have died of diarrhoea in the recent past in Chief Chama’s area of Kawambwa district.’
mAY THEIR souls rest in peace and condolences to their families.
And the Councils in Luapula are run by PF. So where is the leadership ba Sata. Your voters are dying, do something, write a project proposal and secure funds to help build a clinic or something like that. What is wrong with PABWATOO. One man cannot do everything and that is what SATA must be made to understand.
Works and Supply Minister, Mike Mulongoti, has castigated people opposed to President Rupiah Banda’s decision to take a working holiday in Mfuwe. Mr. Mulongoti says the President like any human being deserves to rest and get relief from pressure of work.
Mr Mulongoti said those putting pressure on President Banda are the same ones who caused President Mwanawasa to over work.
And we the old say, this is another useless Kaponya from Luapula I guess. Listen to his arguments. Put up a system where everybody works wembushi wee. What pressure? Pressure comes from your lies at times. Argue intelligently and let people see results, that is it. What pressure are you the ones that work? Fat cats
I have not seen any pressure on RB for him to take a rest at Mfuwe. He recently went into the office and already resting.Has he got any advisers? How do you take a rest when things are not in order?
That is way we never progress in Zambia.Everyone wants to put in half a day’s work all in the name of christmas.Anyway what do you expect with such examples from the leaders.
GOD HELP ZAMBIANS
:((
:x:x:x:x:x
pipo learn to respect each other
Vote =; Kawambwa residents next time to avoid Cholera.
GRZ when are you going to say THANK YOU to president Hakainde Hichilema who wrote President RB Banda containing ways of improving our limping economy. It is sad to note that the Kwacha currency rate to the US Dollar has now surpassed or is about to where former President Chiluba left it with us in 2011.
Let us learn to say thank you any help that comes our way. After all, the MMD GRZ is the one that requested for help from the opposition with solutions to the Global/National Financial Crises that we are facing as Zambians and Zambia. **==
Is this Diarrheoa or Cholera?
Call it by the name that it is known by.
A spade is a spade!!
If it is Cholera, call it that and deal with it!!
54. Zig Zag Chimfwembe, your asked “Is this Diarrheoa or Cholera?”
My response is that this is diarrheoa because Cholera can kill within about 6 hours of contracting it as one’s dis-ease. On the otherhand, this is Mango season in Zambia and we all know what mangoes can do if you do not eat them properly – i.e. diarrheoa.
