Labour and Social Security Minister Fackson Shamenda says government is determined to take development to all areas of the country.

Mr Shamenda said government is on track in finishing all the development programmes started by late President Michael Sata when the Patriotic Front (PF) administration took office in 2011.

The Minister stated that President Edgar Lungu should be praised for continuing with all the projects which were left behind by the late Head of State.

Mr Shamenda was speaking after touring Mumbwa District hospital where construction of a Mothers shelter is underway.

Mr Shamenda commended the contractor for the good workmanship exhibited in the construction works.

The Minister also hailed the National Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA) for partnering with government in spearheading development in Mumbwa district and the rest of the country.

And Mumbwa Acting Medical Officer in Charge Dr Muye reka Nyirenda praised government and NAPSA for the vital infrastructure going on at the district’s only hospital.

Dr Nyirenda said the Mothers shelter has been the cry of the people of Mumbwa and the surrounding areas.

Meanwhile, Mumbwa district Commissioner Filex Ndopu said the massive developmental projects in the district have elated traditional leaders and the local people in the district.

Mr Ndopu said government is not only constructing mothers’ shelter at the hospital but also constructing clinics in selected parts of the district to bring health care services closer to the people.

The District Commissioner said government is also building schools and upgrading roads to bituminous standards.

Mr Shamenda , who is in the company of NAPSA officials is in Mumbwa district inspecting government developmental programmes.

The Minister and NAPSA officials also paid a courtesy call to the wife of late Chief Mumba of the Kaonde speaking people where NAPSA donated a gen-set worth thousands of Kwacha.

  1. Your boss was recently mentioning that he will only bring development to the areas where he will receive votes. You are so deceptive that is why you use the word of God in vain. You have not respect for the people, you have no respect for God. You respect violence and deception. We will see …

  2. SHAMENDA SEEMS TO BE READING FROM A DIFFERENT PAGE HIS BOSS IS READING FROM. LUNGU RECENTLY SAID HE WOULD ONLY DEVELOP AREAS WHERE HE WOULD BE VOTED FOR AND THAT HE WOULDN’T TAKE DEVELOPMENT TO AREAS WHERE THEY WOULD NOT VOTE FOR HIM.

  3. Confused Nutcase Party — CNP!

    If you believe what these pfools promise you will believe anything!

    Stealing and corruption is the only things we can be absolutely sure will happen if they are re-elected.

  4. (Shame)nda, why not talk of development @ U.T.H, where people have no medicenes, proper food, sterile equipment, & are forced to sleep on floors, in filthy Pigsty conditions??
    While you have the shameless audacity to call such “hospitals”, & drunkenly harp on about P.F, development, you could just be honest for once, tell the electorate you have failed, & beg for a sympathy vote.
    These same non- sanitary death traps, & these so called “Gods waiting rooms”, as one rarely goes back home, once they check in for treatment, are NEVER USED BY YOU THE P.F, ELITE, NEVER!!!
    You corrupt lying Belly politicians are very lucky to have political careers, as its ONLY IN AFRICA where citizens have blunt analytical capacity, wont question why you the Politician will not use local hospitals when…

  5. cont;
    you become unwell, but tell these Daft Zambians, “we are developing, & U.T.H, is good enough for the common citizen”
    Surely Chagwas akalasia would have been treated locally, If P.F is working.
    P.F, is destroying the nation, & the slogan should be “Sonta apo wa nyela” NOT Sonta apo wa bomba, as all people see is excrement & corruption!

  6. Its not the first time ECL says something else and his ministers says the opposite.
    I am not sure whether he is really in control of his ministers, how can we explain this disparity between the President and His Ministers?. Are his Ministers loyal? Is the President being advised by the wrong ministers? Or the President doesn’t know what is going in each ministry? Are the Ministers fooling the President and want him to look foolish in front of the Zambians? Do we have a capable President, then why are we getting mixed messages?
    I don`t understand this.
