Chieftainess Nkomesha Muka Mambo of the Soli people in Chongwe District has advised PF cadres to stop politicizing government projects in the country.

Speaking when she gave a vote of thanks after Government handed over a relatives shelter to Chongwe District Hospital her Royal Highness said government projects do not belong to political parties.

She said politicizing government facilities has the potential of scaring away other would be user once they feel they would not be welcomed by those perceived to be the owners of the facilities.

She said government projects are for all the people regardless of their political or religious inclination further adding that Republican President Edgar Lungu was the President for the republic regardless of their affiliations hence had a duty to all Zambians.

“I just want to say that this facility should not be highly politicized because if you do that it will scare other people within our communities this is what I am asking. I am saying let it be an institution for the people who have the sick in there. Let be a facility for everyone no matter there their affiliation whether political or religious. This is a government project so let remain so and this appeal goes to you my sons and daughters who will be using this facility,” she said.

Her Royal Highness further said the facility will add the dignity to bed siders who were spending nights in the cold when waiting for the sick.

Her concern came after PF cadres chanted PF slogans while mocking the opposition UPND and sang praises for President Edgar Lungu.

Meanwhile government has handed over a 24 bed space capacity Mukosha relative shelter at Chongwe District hospital on Friday.

The shelter was built at the cost 1 million kwacha by the Zambia National Corporation Limited.

Speaking during the hand over ceremony health minister Joseph Kasonde said government will soon start constructing six district hospital staff houses at a cost of 3 million Kwacha.

Dr Kasonde thanked National Airport Corporation limited for supporting the project and the shelter was a much needed facility at the hospital as it serves patients from a wider catchment which makes it difficult for bed siders during the time of nursing the sick relatives.

He said government will always partner with corporate partners who have a Vision to help Zambians to live a health life which is in line with government’s vision.

Speaking earlier Zambia National Airport Cooperation Limited Chairperson Mubanga Musakanya said the Project is part of the organization’s cooperate social responsibilities and the Cooperation believes in working with genuine strategic partners as well as the community in building a better future for all.

  1. If other women were objective as Her Royal Highness, we’d have no need for them to be crying for the ABSTRACT “equal rights”… What the chieftainess shows is just what is expected of any well meaning and upright citizen, especially women, who in lager numbers reduce themselves to the dancers and chanting slogans they don’t even understand… Women, emulate the spirit of Her Royal highness and some other hard working fellows like NAWAKWI mwana wa kwitu! Not ukwalola umwela naimwe eko mwalola, be objective!!!

  2. The lady always has a political agenda.. By taking about PF, your are actualy politicking.

    You are not the chief for one group but for all pipo under your chiefdom

  3. Ba PanAfricanist, have time for God not always this, that mukafwa bwangu nama politics. The chieftainess spoke it all, imwe you are politicking. Find a job, why do you find pleasure in twisting facts? People want facts and NOT opinions, shaa!!

  4. Thats the danger of having lunatics in the midst of upright thinkers. The lunatic had to fish a criticism over what her Royal highness said from his bottom just to please there freemanson under 5. well said our highness my chief

  5. Who do we blame when things are not moving in the right direction? Govt or PF. If some can say Pf has failed Zambians why cant we also say PF has delivered the health facility? We know mama Nkomesha and Masebo ni fon na sim. When Masebo was PF she was praising PF for every project now….

    • You are very correct. She was shameless in her support for Masebo and PF that she even had some headman banished and beaten up because they did not support PF. She was part and parcel of the wastage of government resources that led to the induced by-election that took Masebo to parliament instead of the duly elected Mwakalombe.

  6. YOU ARE RIGHT BA CHIFI. BUT, DON’T YOU THINK PF WILL BE POINTING AT THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS DURING AUGUST 11 CAMPAIGN? SO, WOULD THAT STILL BE CALLED POLITICISING? I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW IF YOUR DAUGHTER WERE STILL PF YOU COULD HOLD THE SAME VIEWS. THIS IS NOT TO SAY WHAT YOU HAVE POINTED OUT IS WRONG. YOU ARE RIGHT, BUT I JUST WANT TO FIND OUT, IF YOU CAN BE HONEST, IF IT ISN’T JUST SOUR GRAPES. ONCE AGAIN I THINK THE OPPOSITION PARTIES WILL BE SCARED TO DRIVE ON THE NEW ROADS PF HAS BUILT, ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN THINKING.

  7. This chieftainess is just a politician period supporting the under5. Why talk about politics when in actual fact she is a stongy supporter of the under5. She is the one not to politicise everything. I feel PF isn’t giving her enough food

  8. Are we not elected to carry out and implement projects?
    Then what can we talk about as our achievements in government?

    • sir taking credit for projects that are built with government funds is wrong. Y ou cannot say look what the PF under EDGAR CHAGWA LUNGU HAS DONE; no those things were not built from party resourses but tax payers money or donor funds. It should be we the people to say under PF this and that was done. You can say the party was a peaceful party or such things but none of this is true with your party. You PF have brought violence never seen in our country, you have brought back tribalism, you have demeaned the police service giving power to your cadres, the list of wrongs outwheigh the good.

    • Let the results speak for themselves!

      And we can all see the results. Bankrupt and broke Zambia from massive borrowing and corrupt awarding of contracts. Wrong priorities building roads when what we need is ZESCO. Collapsed Kwacha and sky high prices. More people with no jobs than ever before.

      Please Luapula Premier, go right ahead and tell us all about PF achievements in Government!

      Just be honest and truthful. 90 days lies don’t work anymore.
