Northern Province Minister, Charles Shawa, has challenged corporate organisations in Kasama to inculcate a culture of giving during the festive period.
Mr. Shawa made the challenge this morning when he presented Christmas gifts to babies at Kasama General Hospital.
He said there was need for corporate organizations operating in Kasama, such as banks, mobile companies and business houses to plough back some of their proceeds towards helping the underprivileged in society.
Mr. Shawa said even though the country was faced with challenges, people should remember the needy in society who are in dire need of assistance to improve their livelihood.
The minister, who was accompanied by acting Provincial Permanent Secretary, Gabriel Kaunda, has since urged the people of Northern Province to celebrate this festive period in a dignified manner in order to avoid fatal incidents.
He said people should desist from engaging themselves in illicit activities such as excessive beer drinking as a way of celebrating the festive season.
Mr. Shawa further expressed delight to learn that a baby girl was born in the early hours of Christmas Day.
And the mother of the only Christmas baby, Sara Mutale, thanked Mr. Shawa for presenting gifts to her child, which included a bathing tab.
Meanwhile, Kasama General Hospital Executive Director, Dr. Cliff Hara, described the condition of the Christmas baby as healthy.
corporate responsibility? Forget it. The government is not responsible enough.
Numero uno ahahahah
Damn right these corporate conglomerates should have proper social responsibily schemes to help the community. Instead they are obsessed with making money and running out of thecountry while bribing government officials

Zambia is not poor but mismanaged and misruled
“He said there was need for corporate organizations operating in Kasama, such as banks, mobile companies and business houses to plough back some of their proceeds towards helping the underprivileged in society.”
Long overdue statement.
Zambia is not poor but mismanaged and misruled. We need to Organized to bring in Real Leadership from Parliament to Plot 1 in 2011
#9, How are you going to go about it?????? Thats a million Dollar question.., #:-s$-)$-)$-)$-)$-)**==**==**==
9. Father Kwanzaa and 10. Cutey, former President Chiluba used mismanagement as his campaign message in 1991. Late A. Mazoka and president Hakainde Hichilema has been usnig this mismanagement and misrule message for a long time now.
We all know this, but we need the educated people to stop supporting illiterates especially the Undereducate for Zambian President. We all need to support a Young educated young man to get to State House as our President and currently that is HH and no other. The man is already known countrywide and also has the financial muscle to do the needful. The UPND manifesto he has been using is the best development agenda document Zambians have ever written for such.
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. =;
#11, Maestro, please stop talking HH into anyone’s else face any more… every one has a right to chooae who can be a good leader for Zedi… YOU WILL NEVER SHAKE ME or move me from what I believe MIYANDA IS THE BEST NEXT PERSON.. WE CAN ARGUE THIS FOREVER but HH doesnt FIT into Zambia’s leadership… FORGET IT MAN… Maybe in your dreams and I mean it man!!!!! [-([-([-([-([-(:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o**==
#12, Go for it Maestro , HH is history…give it a try yourself…and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!!! :)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-
13. Cutey, I respect your opinion. With Miyanda you are up for a serious uphill battle though. However, you may just pull a surprise by winning, so continue trying.
on 14. Cutey, thanks very much.
On #15, I will never fail to continue urging you to go for it… and the time is now…
MORE GOOD LUCK TO YOU… :-w
16. Cutey, zikhomo pambili for these kind and encouraging words. I will do my part accordingly. :* .
#17, its zikomo kwambili not ‘pambili’.
You must be joking. You think these external “infesters” can plough back on their own. What we need is legal framework to guide the behavior of these guys.
By the way, the Presido is showing us an example of social responsibilty, by taking a grow up man, nenani, on holiday using govt money.
#10 Cutey I am doing it right now preparing the people’s mind then lying a campaign strategy.Cutey I want you to watch this video on Youtube ” The economic hit man” after you have watched it forward it.
Father Christmas says no! That is the work of government.
Ho Ho Ho. Government trying to run away from being responsible.
Ho Ho Ho!
#9 FATHER KWANZAA. Right On!!
#11 AND 12 MAESTRO HATOMBWE. Please forget about HH. RB is on holiday. HH is somewhere in Mazabuka. SATA is thinking of what to say next. Atleast he keeps the Govt on their toes.
2011 is for non of the above.
22. SISTER, is it you who asked me whether I believe in Jesus?
