Chief Mwanatete of the Nkoya speaking people in Luampa District in Western province says his chiefdom locally known as Kahumbu Kuta is in full support of the Litunga of Western Province Lubosi Imwiko II.

However , some indunas in the Barotse Royal Establishment (BRE) structures that includes Sub-Chiefs have disproved the Litunga’s
leadership and have since called for his immediate resignation.

Chief Mwanatete says it is for this reason his Kuta has distanced itself from the Indunas who have sued the Litunga for alleged gross incompetence and abuse of authority.

“We want to assure the Litunga and his Kuta that our people are in support of His reign,” Chief Mwanatete said.

ZANIS reports that Chief Mwanatete said in an interview at his palace that his subjects in Luampa district in particular have seen unprecedented development the Litunga’s reign has brought in the area.

He said the Litunga has great influence to the creation of Luampa as a District due to his cordial relationship with the government.

“It is due to this influence that government services such as Health, Education and Agriculture has been brought closer to the people of Luampa,” Chief Mwanatete.

He said during the Litunga’s reign Western Province has received nine new districts than in other provinces and Luampa is one of those
districts.

“We wish to encourage His Royal Highness to remain calm and leave everything in the hands of our Lord Jesus Christ,” Chief Mwanatete

Meanwhile, some indunas in the Barotse Royal Establishment (BRE) structures that includes Sub-Chiefs have disproved the Litunga’s leadership and have since called for his immediate resignation.

It has been alleged that since the Litunga’s inception into power on the 13th of October 2000, has always been prioritizing his personal interests and pays little attention to the governance system of his rulership within which the Barotse Royal Establishment was anchored.

And Induna Nabiwa Imikendu has described the Litunga as a stumbling block to the development of Western Province.

The notice of motion for the Litunga Lubosi Imwiko the second to resign has been filed-in at the Mongu High Court by four Indunas namely; Litia Charles Mutemwa, Mukubesa Ilukena, Nabiwa Imikendu and Mumbisho Liswanio.

  1. So these endorsements have now stretched to the chiefs? Are chiefs not meant to rule for life? Strange that someone can ask for the chief to resign.

  2. They have borrowed the script to rule from PF. Total confusion, witchcraft, cluelessness, not knowing what’s happening, self-centred, greedy, corrupt, no vision.

  3. I suppose, mi Padre, that this sacred mandatum answers the question posed by the old man (reported in one of your favorite blogs about the Prodigal), What about the shower?This is our shower, and our sacred reitxfg.Pa-,Br. James
