Chief Chief Mwene Mutondo of the Nkoya speaking people of Kaoma district in Western province has advised people in the country to always work and support the government of the day.
The traditional leader has since appealed to people in his chiefdom to support the Patriot Front (PF) government because of the development that it is taking to various areas.
He said there is need for people to separate politics from development adding that it is good for people to associate themselves with leaders who are developmental oriented.
ZANIS reports that the Chief was speaking in Kaoma yesterday when President Edgar Lungu paid a courtesy call on him at his palace.
” I want to appeal to my subjects that there is no time to waste, let us join people who are developmental oriented for us to stop walking long distances to clinics and schools let us support PF,” he said.
He stressed that Zambians should always have a common goal of development hence the need to work towards achieving it in a united manner.
And Chief Mweenetondo thanked President Lungu for visiting his palace, noting that he is the second Head of state to have visited the place after first President Kenneth Kaunda.
He added that the visit by President Lungu will remain historical and meaningful to the chiefdom and his subjects.
He also praised government for constructing a modern mortuary in the area adding that people will be buried in dignity and honour compared to the past when people used to be buried hastily due to lack of a mortuary.
And President Lungu appealed to traditional leaders in the country to help politicians by inculcating messages of peace and unity in them.
Mr.Lungu disclosed that there is so much division among politicians especially those championing tribal and regionalism.
He noted that this is why traditional leaders should come in and ensure that people uphold the One Zambia,one Nation Motto.
President Lungu further noted that Presidents and other leaders should be elected on merit and not using tribalism to decampaign others.
” Help us as traditional leaders to inculcate this message in our people, let us stop this tribal thing, all Ministers and Presidents should be elected on merit,” he stated.
He further added that in his administration he will not live anyone behind in the quest to develop the country.
The President is in Mangango of Kaoma district in Western province to campaign for PF candidate Godwin Putu in Tuesday’s November 20 parliamentary by election.
Chief Mweene will be hated by one politician I know for this wonderful comment *supporting developmental orientated politicians* I can assure you that, that politician I know is bitter like a spitting cobra.
We do support them by paying tax, what else do you want? So let them not misuse public funds by flying around the country aimlessly.
People perish due to lack of knowledge, ba chief thinks that the roads and clinic and tu gayo twa blue twa solar been set up in his village is money coming from pf ‘s pockets, those are Chinese loans and him and his subjects are paying taxes to repay these loans.
Support but not vote for the government of the day. Understand the difference!
We hate the habits; corruption, tribalism, nepotism, lies, mediocre and laziness. We want our heavy taxes to be used prudently, not for over priced projects and to divide and rule the nation. Stop collecting monies and reporting to the Chinese they did not vot for you.
Have heard, Ramaphosa has been accused of lying, and therefore violating the Constitution, for an answer he gave in the National Assembly.
Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane questioned Ramaphosa on the donation by the corruption accused company, with Ramaphosa saying it was payment for consulting services done by his son’s company.
“He further added that in his administration he will not live anyone behind in the quest to develop the country.“
Sounds like communism, look to me I have all the answers.
We’re still waiting for your comments on the demolitions in Foxdale and Kasumbalesa. We are also waiting for your comments on the obscenities that Davies Mwila was dancing to at the PF Secretariat as he denounced Kambwili. Don’t pretend as if you don’t know anything about that, your silence is causing us to speculate that you approve of all these occurrences
Just because you have been given a brown envelope doesn’t mean everyone else has one, keep that to yourself and be happy for now wait another 2 years till 2021 to get another one, anyway it’s your opinion!!!!!
Bitter trib.alists on the prawl this morning, upnd of course. Go to church and seek God’s face.
Trib.al Hacks, if that is the leader of upnd, is long expired like cheddar cheese: “once packet is opened use within seven days”. The package containing Trib.al Hacks was opened 12 years ago in 2006!!!
And you are right now in church, hating on us. I guess that guy on the pulpit right now is failing to hit at your heart and head. You have gone to church with a heavy ridden heart and you will go back home with the heaviest sinful heart.
These Hippocrates, you can’t even entrust them with a corpse, you find it infected with VD.
