The Patriotic Front (PF) in Kasama Central Constituency has officially complained to the Speaker of the National Assembly Amusa Mwanamwambwa that there is nothing the Kasama Central Member of Parliament Dr. Saviour Chishimba has been doing to develop the area.
This is according to a complaint letter dated 18th June, 2009 and signed by PF Kasama Central Constituency Chairperson, William Chanda and his Youth Secretary, Sunday Musanya made available to ZANIS this morning.
The PF states that Dr. Chishimba has not visited his constituency for a long time since he was elected as MP on the party ticket in 2006.
The party also wondered why Dr. Chishimba should continue receiving his salary and other emoluments like fuel and sitting allowances when he is allegedly not representing his constituency.[quote]
The PF accused the MP of interfering in the disbursement of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), thereby hindering development in Kasama District.
The party also charged that Dr. Chishimba is allegedly showing disrespect to his constituents by using abusive language against them.
The opposition party says it wants the Speaker to guide the people of Kasama whether Dr. Chishimba is in order to continue getting his allowances as MP at the expense of the electorate in Kasama Central Constituency, who are in dire need of development.
The complainants said they have decided to seek the indulgence of the Speaker, following repeated pressure from Kasama residents over the alleged failure by their MP to spearhead development in his constituency.
They said it is morally wrong for a non-performing MP to line his or her wallet for allowances not worked for, describing the practice as tantamount to plundering the tax-payers’ money at national level.
They further alleged that Kasama residents are threatening to take legal action against Dr. Chishimba if nothing tangible is done to address their plight.
Efforts to get Dr. Chishimba’s comments on the allegations proved futile.

These are the same fellows who will vote him back. Have eyes but can’t see, ears but can never hear. Some oooo same ooooo.
This is politicking by the complainants. How do you define development and how do you define failure? Do you want the doc to use his own money for public works? It cannot work like that! Did you sign with him a performance contracted when you voted for him? No! How is he supposed to develop the area if government does not give him the money? Stop politicking please, please!
If the speaker acts on this case and expels Chisimba, he will have to expel all MPs and we shall have as good as a 2011 elections. ALL MPS are guilty of this. These people just use constituency to fatten their pockets. Maybe we should have a recall system in place
This “The Patriotic Front (PF) in Kasama Central Constituency has officially complained to the Speaker of the National Assembly Amusa Mwanamwambwa that there is nothing the Kasama Central Member of Parliament Dr. Saviour Chishimba has been doing to develop the area” is very interesting. How can honourable Sata MC (Grade 2/6, unknown) let such an MP lead the PF-UPND PACT when president HH is there with a huge clout.
Anyhow, I give respect to MP Saviour Kambwili (Hon Doc, ?) for his courage to show interest in the PF party presidency by challenging the PF self appointed leader for a Convention run.
All the best every one and check you out later.

Saviour Chitenge!
Is this the guy who tried to stop SATA from standing in last year’s elections? Nibamambala bonse aba, they cant perform. My advise to you guys is just to wait for 2011 and decampaign him so that he does not stand, otherwise abena Amusa; dont expect anything from them, they can’t do anything coz they have no guts.
Hi #4 Habupampu.”Anyhow, I give respect to MP Saviour Kambwili (Hon Doc, ?) for his courage to show interest in the PF party presidency by challenging the PF self appointed leader for a Convention run.” So thats the bottom line. I get it.
Dr. Chishimba supports all the taverns around Kasama, his a good guy, He always buys People Mosi. And his friendly with people, just ask the ladies at the Big House tavern. He was talking about building a brewery in Kasama, so I don’t know what PF, are talking about, that his doing nothing.
nibafwaka bafana aba!!kick him out !!vote for me!
Can some one help me, what is happening with Zain in Ndola, we ve had no network since morning. Bana bazadya chani lelo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the spirit we should em brance as consitients. If an MP doesnt perfom, lets probe him. Bring him back to explain why he is not perfoming. As for the Dr. I think its a situation where he doesnt want to share the cash with the officials down there. Lets wait for his response please
Abena Fidel Castro, pours sense into a lot of us, I value it personally. This system we have borrowed from the British is not workable here!!! We needed to have a home grown approach to governance and development system. The fact is that Saviour like many M.P’s cannot develop a constituency. If they buy women sewing machines and two figayoz, is that development? Ask the Crispin Sibeta who has served the longest in Parliament what he did for luena area, then ask Charles Milupi if what Sibeta says is true. The fact is we’re doomed if we continue towing this line, we need a revolutionary Leader. Chapwa
Ladies and Gentlemen , i urge you to read yesturdays press conference by “our” president. What a louse president we have in Banda. This man looking at explaining talking economics. this guy is academically Challenged and will drown us in trouble. This man with due respect is dull for a president. Zambians please wake up lets fight for our own good
We munandi ZAMBI CAN you are rite.
There is no basis for PF officials from Kasama Central Consitituency to complain to Hon Speaker to expel Hon. Dr. S Chishimba from the house. I think those officials are being petty. Its the duty of the MP to represent them in parliament but its not the duty of the MP to develop the area, he only spearheads with the GRZ ministries concerned. That is the sole responsibility of the Govt of the day. No MP has the capacity do that. May be they should have said he does not visit them when parliament is on recess. I guess it has to the Mid Term gratuity. Dr. Chishimba go to Kasama and share abit of your gratuity with the officials. There is something wrong the party officials countrywide, they visit the MPs houses in Lusaka as though it were a market place. They visit in numbers.
There is more to it than meets the eye. how is it that people can say he is ” interfering in the disbursement of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), thereby hindering development in Kasama District.” when he is never there at all? And how do they here the abusive language if the person sin’t there as they have said “Dr. Chishimba is allegedly showing disrespect to his constituents by using abusive language against them” ? Tell us something else, may be you just wanted to share umuchanga and when things didn’t go your way you decided to spill the beans.
MPs have no money to develop areas. It is the government please.
The strike by nurses should not pass without my concern. When candidates apply for nursing, they are told to essays on why they want to train as nurses. The main issue they state is to “help the helpless sick people”. Now this is totally opposite to whatever they are doing today. Not even the most rubbish government or president can offer k1.5 million uniform allowance. NEVER!!!
#10, its not only Ndola, its the whole zambia
Remember zain fired most of it’s zambian engineers and they thought they can maintain the network without them. This is the second time they have subjected zambians to a total black out. Switch to MTN, or wait and see the worst yet to come!
The electorate should keep their MPs on their toez at all timez az long az there iz no malice. I hope the honourable waz enganged in dialogue or written to in order to chat a way forward.
To my knowlege all MPS are just the same!
vima party cadres are the worst money mongers!
Az usual, there must be a very good explanation, followed by an appology, az to what iz happening to the ZAIN network. It’s better to subscribe to all three networks, for they each have their own flowz here and there.
Meant FLAWZ
7 Dalitso thanks and howz things? On your “So thats the bottom line. I get it.” Yes, indeed.
In fact, these calls by PF cadres to the Speaker as indicated in “The opposition party says it wants the Speaker to guide the people of Kasama whether Dr. Chishimba is in order to continue getting his allowances as MP at the expense of the electorate in Kasama Central Constituency, who are in dire need of development” are strange since they PF cadres should have sought honourable PF self-appointed leader MC Sata (Sub B/Standard 4)’s attending to MP Chishimba S. (Hon. Doc., ?)’s non-performing issues first.
This entails that it is possible the MP S. Chishimba (Hon Doc, ?)may be planning to challenge MC Sata (Grade 2/4) for PF president at a possible PF convention.
7 Dalitso, continuing on This entails that it is possible the MP S. Chishimba (Hon Doc, ?)may be planning to challenge MC Sata (Grade 2/4) for PF president at a possible PF convention. Although MP Chishimba Saviour (Hon Doc, ?) has reconcilled with the PF selfappointed leader, he might still be harbouring those PF president ambitions or may be trying to cause friction in the president HH leadership of the PF-UPND PACT which MC Sata (Grade 2/6 and not 4 as in #24 above) has brought to all PF members through his approaching the UPND to join up with him/PF/Sata.
Thus, whoever is seemingly against the PF selfappointed leader’s plans will have to be sent out of PF just like the rebel PF MPs have been sidelined from mainstream PF.

Many MPs spend two thirds of there time at their ‘constituency’ in Lusaka. So don’t worry, they are representing you in Lusaka. But don’t ask me what kind of representation, just know they are representing you! Twalitumpa tu mambala!

Following “Educational Qualifications: GCE ‘O’ Level, PH.D in Public Health (Honourary)” in posting 25 above under MP Chishimba Saviour’s CV, I am surprised that there is a Doctorate of Philosophy (PH.D) which is Honourary at the same time.
According to wikipedia here are some Degree definitions:
“An honorary degree[1] or a degree honoris causa (Latin: ‘for the sake of the honour’) is an academic degree for which a university (or other degree-awarding institution) has waived the usual requirements (such as matriculation, residence, study and the passing of examinations).

The university often derives benefits by association with the person in question.”

According to wikipedia here are some Degree definitions:
“Doctor of Philosophy, abbreviated Ph.D. or PhD for the Latin philosophiæ doctor, meaning “teacher of philosophy”, or, more rarely, D.Phil., for the equivalent doctor philosophiæ, is an advanced academic degree awarded by universities. In many, but not all countries in the English-speaking world, it has become the highest degree one can earn (but see also the higher doctorates awarded by universities in the UK, Ireland and some Commonwealth countries) and applies to graduates in a wide array of disciplines in the sciences and humanities. The Ph.D. has become a requirement for a career as a university professor or researcher in most fields.”

“Doctor of Philosophy, abbreviated Ph.D. or PhD for the Latin philosophiæ doctor, .. The detailed requirements for award of a Ph.D. degree vary throughout the world; however, there are a number of common factors. In some countries (the US, Canada, Denmark, for example), most universities require coursework in addition to research for Ph.D. degrees. In many other countries (especially those with a greater degree of specialization at the undergraduate level, such as the UK) there is no such condition in general. It is not uncommon, however, for individual universities or departments to specify analogous requirements for students not already in possession of a master’s degree.”

According to wikipedia here are some Degree definitions:
“Doctor of Philosophy, abbreviated Ph.D. or PhD for the Latin philosophiæ doctor, … In countries requiring coursework, there is usually a prescribed minimum amount of study — typically two to three years full time, or a set number of credit hours — which must take place before submission of a thesis. This requirement is usually waived for academic staff submitting a portfolio of peer-reviewed published work. The candidate may also be required to successfully complete a certain number of additional, advanced courses relevant to his or her area of specialization.”

“A candidate must submit a thesis or dissertation consisting of a suitable body of original academic research, which is in principle worthy of publication in a peer-refereed context.[1] In many countries a candidate must defend this work before a panel of expert examiners appointed by the university; in other countries, the dissertation is examined by a panel of expert examiners who stipulate whether the dissertation is in principle passable and the issues that need to be addressed before the dissertation can be passed.
Universities in the non-English-speaking world have begun adopting similar standards to those of the Anglophone Ph.D. degree for their research doctorates (see, for example, Bologna Process).[2].”

A cheeky monkey decided to spend a penny on Zambian President Rupiah Banda – as he held a news conference on the economy in the capital Lusaka.
Mr Banda was not peeved, making light of the rude interruption as he sat under a tree in State House grounds.
Journalists laughed as Mr Banda jokingly remonstrated with the offender: “You [monkey] have urinated on my jacket.”
“Perhaps these are blessings,” he said, looking up at the animal in the tree.
The BBC’s Musonda Chibamba in Zambia says she is not aware of any superstition in the country connecting monkey urine to good fortune.
There are also many species of antelope and bird in the State House grounds, according to Reuters news agency.

In view of the above explanations given by Wikipedia, I would like to ask the PF to inform the National Assembly website administrators to rewrite the PH.D in Public Health (Honourary) into Honourary Doctorate in Public Health on the CV for honourable MP Chishimba Saviour. This is in an effort to avoid embarrassment from other world Citizens who might view the National Assembly website information of our Parliamentarians.
Back to the thread, let MP S. Chishimba and other politicians realise that we do not need to read about title in front of their names, but actions in terms of serving the grassroots who complained “that Dr. Chishimba is allegedly showing disrespect to his constituents by using abusive language against them“…
MPs do not have to put personal manne into their consitutents but must spearhead developments in their areas. Where are the objectives/Goals and the results that RB promised all MPs will have to follow ? These guys spend all their time in lusaka driving around with free fuel in heavly subsidised cars. Chishimba was the one pictured hand in hand chasing that woman MP with reciding hair at parliment. pipo have complained already he is doing zero for Kasama. RB can we have performance checks on your boys. They are really enjoying themselves
Hachipuba aya nomba. Pheewww!
Give RB a chance please.
Is this man trying to look like abayashi ba Kapwepwe ? I had to do a double take when I saw the picture. Ali na propaganda!
This is why constituents need powers of recall in the new constitution. If they did have powers of recall, they would be able to force a bye-election. Instead, once you elect these miscreants they just collect their salaries and ignore those who voted for them for the next five years. In 2011 he will go back to Kasama with drums of beer and the same people will vote for him again. Zambian democracy! May be illiterate people should not be allowed to vote!
HH is now Prince Cobra. Official. Viva RB
Ifimyemfu ci Dr Chishimba. You stop answering to my good name blali fu.Ba Chshimba bonse balikwata amano. Pamenso kwati ni Galileo.
Come to think of it. Which MP is “doing” anything for their areas? This just tulijo or cheap politics.
