Malole Member of Parliament Emmanuel Munaile has observed that Mungwi district has not benefited much from the poverty reduction programmes (PRP).
Mr. Munaile says apart from the newly funded construction of Ngulula canal, most communities have not benefited from such programmes in a long time.
The Parliamentarian told heads of government departments in Mungwi yesterday that there was need for them to assist the community come –up with poverty reduction programmes such as construction of markets in areas where business was booming.
He further observed that poverty reduction activities should be given priority if the district was to develop.
He said for people to participate in various sectors of the economy there is need for the government to provide an enabling environment such as making sure that the roads were in a better condition.
Mr. Munaile has however bemoaned the poor maintenance of Nseluka/Kayambi road by Pubuta Investment.
And Mr. Munaile has bemoaned the inadequate funding that some of the government departments were receiving in the district.
Mr. Munaile said it was unfortunate some government departments were receiving as little as K100, 000 as departmental recurrent charges.
He said it would be difficult for such departments to efficiently and effectively carry -out government programmes.
The MP said however that there was need for more funding in agriculture for disease control and construction of dip tanks across the district.
ZANIS
Zambia’s poverty reduction from 80% to 64% though commendable is worrying. I encourage all patriotic Zambians to exploits Zambia’s good investment climate and engage in business activities because business activities create jobs. If not, then we shall engage foreign investors to come take part in business activities in Zambia.

#1. I agree with you. However, we need to understand that Zambians are living hand to mouth. Those in employment are left with nothing to invest after taxation. No wonder we shall never be able to compete with foreigners!
I wish all MPs in the country would be so much in touch with their electorates like this. Big up to Munaile!
Munaile is a blood failure, get a proper chap. He only shows up intermittently!!
Yes, Mungwi has not benefited because Mr. Munaile has been doing nothing – even at FAZ there are no results.
Munaile….politician, what a joke!
