Nkana Member of Parliament Alexander Chiteme has embarked on a robust development project in his constituency that has included dipping his hands into his personal pockets to better the lives of the community.
The Law maker who says he simply loves his constituency and it’s people donated 100 pairs of Bata toughies shoes to pupils at a community school in Nkana.
Mr Chiteme also donated sports kits complete with soccer jerseys.
Speaking when he donated the items Mr. Chiteme described Children as the future who needed to be safe guarded and equipped with the right tools such as education.
However, Mr Chiteme, mourned the state of the community school and promised to do more to revamp the building and create more classrooms aside from the two which currently accommodate more than 730 pupils.
He promised to facilitate the 25 percent required by the European Union and build a 1 by 3 classroom block.
Mr Chiteme who could not hold back tears when he listened to the plight of the pupils promised to cultivate resources from his pocket and that of the many well wishers to ensure that development is taken to all corners of the constituency and to the country at large.
Meanwhile Mr Chiteme has adopted the highest scoring Grade 7 pupil from the community school into his care.
Agness who got 711 marks has been going to the community school but feared her education had come to a halt after her mother failed to pay her secondary school fees.
These donations from personal pockets are suspicious. An MP in the developed world will never donate from his pockets. Instead, he will lobby and donate
i like your statement…………in the developed world………..’ we are not in the developed world. am sure yu know our poverty levels and other social challenges. there is nothing wrong to use your own money as long as its not stolen or gained in a bad way, to use it for the less privilleged. by the way, in zambia where do yu lobby where others have not lobbied before?
HATS OFF MR CHITEME
Kasanka – Please just congratulate this generous and kind Member of Parliament for what he has just done. Why are your eyes instantaneously blinded, by mistrust, from the good deed Hon. Chiteme has just done? You could even start by saying, “well done”, then ask the questions you are asking later. Let guve credit where it is due.
People have a problem. MP donates it an issue, MP does not donate he is useless. Hatred
Let him pay the school fees for Agness, since he told her mother that free education is not possible, in fact let him give all the school going children in his area, shoes, books and uniforms, and pay their school fees.
100 pairs of shoes only? for 730 pupils at a ka small community school, aba ba MP should be serious man.
How many have you donated yourself?
