Nambaala ward councillor sacked

Share

Mumbwa District Council has officially announced the sacking of Nambaala Ward Councirllor, following conclusive investigations which proved his involvement in illegal sell of plots.

Mumbwa Council Chairman, Maxwell Nzovu, (UPND) told ZANIS that the Chamber had resolved to relieve Chrsitopher Nole (MMD) of his civic duties following revelations which strongly linked him to the sale of plots that were not offered by the council.

Mr. Nzovu said that Mr. Nole had allegedly benefited more that K15 million from illegal plot sales from last year, and had been suspended by the council early this year.

He said that the local authority has since  communicated to the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to declare the Nambaala Local government seat vacant, and noted that the decision made in sacking Nole was effected to serve as deterrent to all Councillors who brought the chamber into disrepute.

He advised councillors to concentrate on prioritising ward projects which had long term benefits in their bid to make prudent use of the recently remitted K400 million per Counstituency Development Funds (CDF), which the three constituencies in the district each received.

In a separate statement, Mr. Nzovu appealed to the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU) to release data on quantity and frequency of relief food earmarked for parts of the district, prior to delivery.

He said that such a move would help residents in the affected areas to be in a state of preparedness, adding that the quantities as well as frequency of relief food was disappointing.

The Council Chairman, who is also Choma ward Councillor, cited his ward as one of the most affected owing to the crop damage and human displacement due to the floods brought about by the previous heavy rainfall pattern.

When talked to, most residents of Nambaala said they were expectant of local government by-elections.

  1. Thats good UPND…waiting for action from Lusaka PF controlled…dont just shout pa Bwatoooo! show action in the little space you have…

  2. The councillor is MMD? No wonder he has been selling plots illegally and this is the trend country-wide where there are MMD councillors.

  3. Hey guys, does anybody know where Golyati is? It seems he has badly been affected by the credit crunch he can’t blog anymore. I’m starting a fund to enable Golyati start blogging again. I will soon be posting my bank details for the purpose.

  4. Nambaala Ward Councillor, wanted to be nambaala one, illegal sell of plots, money pa Zed?

    MERRY XMAS

    Viva H H man who will be always with love

  5. # 8, Golyati is out on a 10 day Holiday with RB72.Will write you as soon as he come back :d

    Viva H H man with good information policy for Zed.

  6. We are enjoying the holidays. Beer, turkey, game meat and cavier. Mfuwe is a real haven. Just about to go for a game drive. Good scenic view as weve just had some drizzles. I wish ba SATA was around. I could have shown him the cobras we have in mfuwe.

  7. 3. Engine Bbuloko, you wrote well on “Thats good UPND…waiting for action from Lusaka PF controlled…dont just shout pa Bwatoooo! show action in the little space you have…”

    This is the action we want not just claimants that they are action oriented.

    UPND and Tetamashimba have action men PERIOD.

  8. 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.

  9. I have been searching for a farm plot for years to no avail and for someone taking the biscuit like this…… I suggest that he be taken to book. This is unacceptable.

  10. “The Opposition Patriotic Front has written to the Speaker of the National Assembly Amusaa Mwanamwambwa, requesting him to declare the parliamentary seats of the 16 defiant Members of Parliament vacant.
    The PF argues that the expelled MPs on December 14th 2007 commenced legal proceedings in the Lusaka High Court against the party.
    According to the letter sent to Mr. Mwanamwambwa and signed by PF deputy General Secretary, Chileshe Mulenga and obtained by Muvi TV today, the defiant MPs in December 2007 withdrew their membership from the party by stopping their monthly contributions.”

  11. Above continued.
    “Dr. Mulenga says following the MPs’ action the PF Central Committee resolved to accept their decision not to continue to be PF members.
    He noted that the MPs in question continued to perform their functions under the protection from the court pending the determination of the matter.
    Dr. Mulenga however says the high court on Monday 22nd December this year handed down a ruling in which it discharged the interim order of injunction.”
    Since this is a good move by PF, please the UPND write those expelled 16 MPs letter to join the U-Team as soon as possible so that you can campaign with them in the areas they have been MPs.Vote for a sensible group of trustworthy leaders =;.

  12. Zambia is not poor but mismanaged and misruled. We need to Organized to bring in Real Leadership from Parliament to Plot 1 in 2011

  13. Gentleman and ladies, fellow country men and women, this is our time and this is our moment. Support the only true leadership for 2011 and that is only the U-Team with a manifesto that late Mwanawasa and alive Magande tried to use in bringing Zambia to some sane level as an economy and Nation.

    Since this is our time and moment as Zambians, let us make sure we help in getting the young and energetic president Hakainde Hichilema to become President of our great Nation, Zambia.

    I would have loved to stand as Zambian presidential candidate in 2011, but I have commitments right now. I am considering doing so in 2016. I have already secured some support from non-Zambians of all forms. =;

  14. iwe maestro hantobwe can you change your name!we only have one maestro on this blog and that’s ‘hehehe’.you steal a name then you want to pass 1000 comments on 1 article so that you get noticed.grow some balls! x(x(x(

  15. 21. donya donya, I am the same Maestro Hhehhehhehhe and thanks for the concern.

    I have been using this new name in recognition of Chewe my friend who gave me this nick name. Since it is appealing, I decided to use it. Anyhow, I am now going back to the usual one as I do not want to confuse you or anyone else.

    Chewe can understand for now, but nga ailishanya I will assume this one again later.

    Have a blessed day.
    😉

  16. #23 Mahestro i would advice you and UPND not to adopt the rebel PF mps they have lived their usefulness.Machungwa has nothing to offer to the people of Luapula constituency. I am the in coming MP for luapula constituency and the fist thing i will do is to Audit the constituency development funds because i believe the money is a little bit meaningful to bring some development into the area but alas nothing is happening.MERRY X MASS & PROSPEROUS 2009

  17. 28. Fide, points noted. I hope this will not be retrogressive to the momentum U-Team has been gaining.

    Thanks for the advice and I will consider it as an option.
