Chief Chizela of the Kaonde speaking people in Mufumbwe district has dispelled assertions by some sections of society alleging that he does not support the Patriotic Front (PF) government.
Chief Chizela reaffirmed that his chiefdom will support President Michael Sata and his government’s policies so as to foster both social and economic development in the area.
He was speaking in Mufumbwe when Deputy Minister of Local Government and Housing, Steven Masumba, called on him at his palace over the weekend.
Chief Chizela said President Sata’s government is the only one in the history of Zambia that has restored the dignity of traditional leaders in the country by creating a ministry of Chiefs and increasing their subsidies.
He expressed happiness that the PF government has recognised the role that traditional leaders in the country play in national development and wants them to fully participate in the implementation of developmental policies in rural areas.
Chief Chizela said he is also in support of the appointment of opposition Movement For multi-party Democracy (MMD) Mufumbwe District Constituency Member of Parliament, Mr Masumba, as Deputy Minister of Local Government and Housing and pledged to work with him.
Meanwhile, Chief Chizela has appealed to the PF government to consider constructing a University in the province, adding that the region has been contributing a lot to the national coffers.
Chief Chizela said his subjects must feel the positive impact of their resources by having a university North-western Province.
And the Local Government Deputy Minister has since called on the traditional leaders in his area to fully support the PF government if meaningful development is to be achieved.
Mr Masumba said traditional leaders must support and help to implement government’s developmental polices for the benefit of the local people.
