Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) Kalabo Central aspiring candidate, Mubukwanu Kalaluka, has pledged to introduce an irrigation system to improve food production in view of climate change once voted into office.
Mr Mubukwanu also says he will make sure that every resident of Kalabo Central Constituency has access to clean drinking water by sinking boreholes.
He says he will also construct more health posts and feeder roads in all the wards of his constituency to improve health standards.
The aspiring Parliamentarian notes that people, especially farmers in his constituency, have for a long time depended on rains which he said is no longer yielding good results with climate change effects.
He says it is against this reason that once declared winner, he will make sure that he mobilises resources and introduce irrigation farming as a measure to mitigate climate change.
Mr Mubukwanu notes that people in Kalabo Central have also been crying for a good road network and health facilities that are closer to their door steps, adding that it is only when they vote for him that things will become a reality.
Mr Mubukwanu was speaking at a rally held at Kashitu Market yesterday where several Patriotic Front (PF) and United Party for National development members defected to the FDD.
He said politics of character-assassination is long gone as people are eager to listen to developmental activities.
Speaking at the same rally, FDD aspiring Council Chairman, Mbulalizina Nyambe, said he will not allow outsiders to construct a filling station in Kalabo as doing so will disadvantage the local fuel dealers.
Mr Nyambe instead pledged to assist the local fuel dealers to mobilise themselves and construct a filling station in the district once voted into power.
Where will the money come from?
PF has used all the money in the National coffers and incurred HUGE KALOBA that will now have to be repaid.
Mr Mubukwanu is dreaming unless he has a plan to raise finances for these projects, even PF has no plan for getting Zambia out of debt, so he must tell us about that.
Zambia is BROKE, so these are just empty promises!
