Mazabuka Municipal Council in Southern Province has refuted a story in today’s Post Newspaper edition stating that the people of Mazabuka have rejected mobile clinics to be launched by President Rupiah Banda
The story in the tabloid dated 18th April states that Mazabuka residents had rejected the Mobil clinics and instead wanted a general hospital.
Refuting the claims during an establishment committee meeting held in the Council chambers today, Mazabuka Town Clerk Ekan Chingangu said they was never a time when Residents Development Committees(RDCs) in Mazabuka sat to make such a statement.
ZANIS reports that Mr Chingangu said that the Council was in full support of mobile clinics and that all the Councillors were in favour of the gesture by Government.
Mr. Chingangu said that all the Councillors in the district would welcome the president and receive the mobile clinics scheduled to be launched by President Banda tomorrow.
He said that RDCs were there to help the Council to bring development to the district and that it was not possible for the Councillors to reject the clinics which he described as development.
And reacting to the statement about roads being graded when the President was scheduled to visit Mazabuka, the Town Clerk said it was a coincidence as the local authority had just approved its Constituency Development Funds and was currently implementing various programmes including the grading of roads in the district.
And Mazabuka RDC Chairperson Amos Chombegi Munsaka refuted claims reported in the tabloid that he said that the people of Mazabuka had rejected the mobile clinics.
The Chairperson said that he was misquoted by the Reporter who followed him to church and asked him questions about the President’s visit to the district which he refused to answer.
Mr Munsaka said that he never mentioned anything about the people rejecting the mobile clinics and that the news article surprised him just as much as it did to the people of Mazabuka
He said that in fact it was a good gesture for Government to consider Mazabuka for the mobile clinics and that they would go a long way in helping the local people.

There goes the Homo magazine.The chief homo should sell that joint to save it from total collapse & embarrasment.The paper that goes deeper.
Just yesterday another lie was carried in the Sunday Post that the police had denied a permit for the catholics to carry out the Palm Sunday procession. The story was denied by the police who stated that in fact the permit was issued on 12th April 2011 and that it was never cancelled. Even Bishop Paul Duffy of Mongu Catholic Diocese confirmed what the police said and that the procession in fact did take place. Despite my misgivings of the Post, I never imagined that it could sink so low in telling lies to the depth that PF has reached. Is that the new kind of “digging deeper”? Just swallow your pride guys, these mobile clinics are a hit with Zambians. Visionary leadershiop at work bane, not fi “90 days more money in your pockets” nightmares.
Of course, what else would one expect the Post write? They are in full campaign mode for MCS. I wish they could go back to being a newspaper.
Anyway what else do you expect from the homopost newspaper. What else can the chief homovuvuzela write about other than blindly supporting his homosata
who will believe the post now they seem all what there ar saying ar lies fo sure,we want real change useless post paper.
i think time has come for all serious zambians to take a stand and boycott this rumour peddling paper. they are taking us for fools. just one week of no newspaper sales will ground them….. well maybe not because they most likely are beneficiaries of some clandestine foreign funding
Be careful ladies and gentlemen, these people are saying different things behind the camera. If fear of being victimised they agreed at a meeting and sang a different song b4 or after the meeting. Embarrasing the president, these councilors fear lossing their jobs. To lie is to keep their jobs. Vote for Nawakwi a female president like ours here :)
In fear of being victimised..

POST = PA FWAAKA VUVUZELA
number 8, ino kanjimaano mukkala kuli? Good evening.
Honestly, there is NO need to launch the mobile hospitals in all the provinces. One launch activity was enough.This will not work as a compaign strategy. This is just the continued wastage of the tax payers’ moeny. Soon, we will hear the re-launch of hearses.
Good thinking. I have just returned from Sesheke, Senanga, Kalabo and Shangombo districts. These are very vast. They need two mobile districts each people are really suffering and can not access hospitals. People are dying and neglected. Iam sure you will respond mr president you are becoming so understanding. There is an urgent need to create more districts for proper admin convenience.
