UNIP parliamentary candidate Elina Nyirenda has prioritized her campaigns by urging electorate of Chipata Central Constituency to vote her as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the empowerment of women and youths who were the key to national development.
In an interview in Chipata yesterday during her continued campaigns for the July 25th 2013 polls,Ms Nyirenda said being an MP was not just about getting a seat in parliament but making a difference once and contributing positively towards the livelihood of those being represented.
The 20 year –old researcher said Chipata Central was a constituency that needed an MP who would focus on empowering the women and the youths.
“An MP that will think of educating the youths with skills that will give them business ideas and earn them an income since there are no jobs being provided for the youths,” she said.
Ms Nyirenda said the women of Chipata Central have also been let down by the previous MPs.She explained that according to UNIP’s policy for women was to see to it that women attain economic empowerment as they were the pillars of homes.
“It will, therefore, be my obligation as MP to introduce income generating initiatives that will help economically empower women and also to strengthen some of the initiatives already existing,”she said.
She said it was unacceptable for women to be allowed to work in the unhealthy environments they work in various markets where they were forced to share one toilet.
She cited markets like Kapata and Magazine which she said had piles and piles of uncollected garbage.
Ms Nyirenda said she was contesting the Chipata Central by-elections because she wanted a change from the electorate.
Others contesting the Chipata Central seat are Patriotic Front(PF)’s Lameck Mangani, MMD’s Reuben Mtolo Phiri, National Restoration Party(NAREP)’s Kazembe Daka and Penlope Nkunika an independent candidate.
By Press time, Vice President Dr Gu Scot was expected in Chipata for as series of political rallies in drumming up support for Mr Mangani.
wachepa 20 years
It is because of as..wholes like you Zambia does not develop. Your people group are but thieves and Moronic causers of soil erosion. 73 -2 northern groups and Zambia would be great.
She has been a researcher for 20 years.
Anyway, vote for her to go and bright up Parliament, its currently too dark there.
Aka akamwaiche nkakafwayafye mwe.Ninkatemwa.
Elina Nyirenda is hot hot hot, lets appoint her forget erections!
O dear, O dear ‘Erections’?
Oh yes! When there are ERECTIONS, let women be ON TOP! So Elina, go girl go! Be on top of this Erection!
Rambo thats my line, you owe me.
I quoted this from Dora Siliya’s campaign slogan “… men turn up in numbers for erections”.
And that Elina looks like Dora, so soft and ready for sleepable, please vote for Elina!! Elina for vacant ministry of Foreign Affairs!!
ECZ have rules/qualifications changed ? is it not 21years and above napapa
researcher is not a proffesion per se ba LT. Mention the field of study, eg economics, nutrition ect. BUT since she is just 20 yrs, i wonder what field of specialisation she is in…
Those were my exact thoughts. Collecting census data in rural areas on behalf of Central Statistics Office (CSO) doe not make one a researcher. Anyway she may be able do some research at Parliament Motel….
When and where did she learn about research? What is her profession? Give details about her research. At 20 she could just be an undergraduate that is if she finished school at a very young age. But on average, Zambians finish grade 12 at 18. Add 1 yr for waiting for results. Add 4 yrs for degree. That should make minimum of 23.
They can’t write that she is “student/ Pupil”, that is belittling her.
And remember in Zambia some people throw away titles like “Pastor” and prefer to be called “Dr.”
Title in Zambia is very important.
Apwishishe lisa uyu wine umwaice isikulu? Ushe ali pa UNZA? Any contemporaries?
Rantings rantings again, mwaice tekanya mu Parliament mwaba utoloto. Maybe u want to succeed Dora and Masebo ayi?? Anyway go for it sweet 20, hope u did a good research on this one. Wish u luck though!
we were together pa UNZA.graduated in 2010.
So why are you not an MP?
Go UNIP …..VIVA KK!!!
Go girl! Wish you well for your bold stand. I hope the youth can identify with you and give you the vote as a way of bringing to the fore that it’s a generation force to reckon with!
UNIP IS DOING FINE. BETTER THAN UPND
