Ministry of Water Development and Sanitation Permanent Secretary Bishop ED Chomba has challenged Zambezi River Authority to include water resource management on its line of duty in providing services to the people of Zambia.

Speaking during the annual general meeting for North-Western Water Supply and Sewerage Company in Solwezi, Bishop Chomba said the Zambezi River authrity should not not be there for electricity generation only but can also manage water resources.

“Zambezi River Authority should not be there for electricity generation only but also water resource management”

He stated that North-Western Province being the host source of the mighty Zambezi river water challenges should not be of any problem

“It’s sad that many people particularly those in North-Western Province which hosts the source of the Zambezi River do not not have access to clean and safe water” he said.

He emphasised the importance of having and providing safe and clean water to the people but wondered why the resources has not been utilised by the Authority to improve peoples lives.

“Water is a very important and critical player in peoples lives that should be utilised to improve the well being of the consumer”

Bishop Chomba said the Patriotic Front government under the leadership of President Edgar Chagwa Lungu remains committed to ensuring that Zambians are provided with clean and safe water.

However, Bishop Chomba said with the current situation there is need to revist the agreement between the Zambezi River Authority and the Zambian government inorder to have full participation of the Authority.

  1. When is this man going to be fired for claiming he has two PhDs, one from Oxford and another from some US university? If Chileshe was fired for divorcing his wife and going after Maureen Nkandu, why should this fraudster continue enjoying taxpayers’ money. Time to fire this fraudster.

    • PF is full of FRAUDSTERS. Jonathan Padule Mutaware, now it’s Fake Doctor, Fake Bishop Chomba.

      We told you that this man was a wanted man in USA for bigamy & child molestation. Even the Bishop robes are fake, they were bought online from Ebay.

      Just because he falsely accused HH of sata.nism, you reward him with deputy minister, then PS job.

    • Can you imagine this fool has the audacity to say that no institution can disclose information about its former students.
      Its sad that this government is made up of foo!s

    • Can you imagine this foo! has the audacity to say that no institution can disclose information about its former students.
      Its sad that this government is made up of foo!s Kampyongo lusambo mwila chitotela chomba eish the list is growing!

    • Another thing that exposed him was that when News Diggers! asked him to comment, he replied that Oxford University could not have told them that he was their former student because they respected “anonymity”. Of course he had meant “confidentiality”. Which doctorate degree holder would confuse anonymity and confidentiality? The Zambian civil service has some well-educated career officers who have to take their orders from this chap. For the PF govt, there is no low they are not capable of reaching.

  2. This hopless Chatalan should have been fired in wake of the cholera epidemic…people right in Lusaka have no access to clean drinking water….

    This is all lungu and his ministers are good at…..passing on responsibility while they steal and earn hudge allowances….

    Now what is you ministry responsible for ??

  3. With increased populations and human and industrial development within the region, the Zambezi will soon be the Nile of the region. If sound management of this resource isn’t planned now, it maybe a source of conflict in future, and obviously ZRA must look beyond electricity production alone.

    • There’s no real Zambezi river authority because the so-called Zambezi River Authority is in fact a Kariba Dam authority because they do not manage the Zambezi river basin. They are a misnamed company.

  4. P.F chabe!
    Na ba Kasai, with forged documents, are now holding high Government positions. ONLY IN ZAMBIA.

  5. He is Bishop Dr Chomba we ONLY HAVE THREE CLERGY IN GOVERNMENT , SUMAILI, CHOMBA AND BWALYA FRANK (ALL MEN OF GOD AND TOO VOCAL ONLY BISHOP Dr Chomba has slowed down after campaigns in making noise

  6. Imagine, claiming to have 2 PHDs and yet you are an empty tin, when thrown down the road you make the loudest noise. This Chagwa or is it Mutaware whichever is true must be sloppy to be hoodwinked by this charlatan. This is a very serious issue that should not be left to die just like that. We need to pluck these misfits and replace them with competent people who can run these ministries with professionalism. Ngatawajoba fyobefyo.

  7. Proper proper fraud star, this bishop chap. Even from the way he talks you can tell that we have a big problem on our hands. Instead of water he says waltor trying to sound very foreign. This information needs to be passed on to Tayali urgently

  8. Bishop, whilst you want people to respect your anonymity, the source of a river does not contain the biggest volumes of water. Your argument that NW province should have the most water because its the source of the Zambezi is therefore flawed.
