Chiefs in Chienge district of Luapula province have declared their continued support for President Rupiah Banda and the ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) party in the forthcoming 2011 elections.
Senior Chief Puta of Chienge district said his counterparts have resolved to work with President Banda and his government in the development of the area. He said this when President Banda met 25 chiefs from Bwile Royal Establishment at Senior Chief Puta’s palace in Chienge.
Chief Puta pointed out that the traditional leaders of the Bwile people will not tolerate leaders who insult them, adding that insulting chiefs is insulting their subjects. He said chiefs in Chienge will support Mr. Banda because he does not insult and always tells the people the truth.
Senior Chief Puta also paid tribute to the President and his government for various development projects that were going on in the district.He cited the construction of the Mununga and Ponde High Schools and the hospital in the area as some of the big projects that would enhance development in the area.
He also cited the maintenance of a K600 billion Lumpambe road which he said was in a deplorable state.
And President Banda thanked the chiefs for the support they rendered to him during the 2008 elections.
He said government has set aside K5 billion for the rehabilitation of Lumbwe-Chomba road.
Mr. Banda has since directed the Provincial Minister Bornface Kawimbe and the Permanent Secretary jazzman Chikwakwa to quickly start the electrification project of Lupiya area.
He has further directed Livestock and Fisheries Minister Bradford Machila to start the process of restocking cattle in the district.
President Banda also said that he will soon consider installing the three chiefs from the Bwile Royal Establishment.
ZANIS
With Katumbi (read Dollars) and FTJ (read smooth talk) in the picture…..
Our chiefs are really politicians and money hungry! What was Big moze doing in a Zambia affair visit?
But our Chiefs are an embarassment in the modern Zambia,whoever flashes a kwacha they open there illiterate mouths proclaiming support.Just when is the nonsense finishing especially Bemba chiefs:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?
Ya ya ya ya, I thought Chiefs, not Chieves, are not supposed to be involving themselves in politics but “He said chiefs in Chienge will support Mr. Banda because he does not insult and always tells the people the truth” is worrying since we who read Newspapers know that President RB Banda insulted PF MPs as “Vima silu” in Kasama last year while he told a lie that he got 100% votes in Northwestern Province in 2009.
Le t us be serious Luapula Chiefs as opposed to falling for “President Banda also said that he will soon consider installing the three chiefs from the Bwile Royal Establishment” the way Judas Iscariot fell for pieces of Silver to have Jesus Christ killed.
Have a blessed day all.

HOW THICK WAS THE BROWN ENVELOP FROM TO CHIEF PUTA? IS IT ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT IN THE CHIEF’s POCKET? TOO, MANY CHITIMUKULUs. FORTUNATELY, ENOUGH IT’S ONLY THE CHIEF WHO IS SUPPORTING RB. HIS PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN CHOICE. AND HOW DOES THE CHIEF KNOW THAT RB IS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE? FO.O.O.L.I.S.H CHIEFS.
THE BEMBA CHIEFS ARE CLEVER, HE HE he. THEY KNEW RB IN TOWN SO IT’S TO SAY NICE THINGS TO GET BROWN OR WHITE ENVELOPES. WHO WOULDNT IN THE MIDST OF POVERTY. THE PRAISE THEY ARE SINGING NOT GENUINE, CHIEFS IN ZAMBIA SAVE FOR THE LITUNGA HAVE LOST RESPECT THEIR FOLLOWERS NO LONGER RESPECT THEM. THE THINGS RB WAS DIRECTING CAN BE DONE BY MINISTERS. IT MEANS MINISTERS ARE SLEEPY IN MMD. THATS WHY WE SHALL BOOT THEM OUT. SIMPLE THINGS KANO BA RB BABE INVOLVED. NO WONDER THE MAN CORRUPT.
