Pambashe Member of Parliament Ronald Chitotela has dissolved the selection committee responsible for identifying vulnerable children for the education scholarship programme in his constituency.

Mr. Chitotela has since replaced the selection committee with the Social Welfare office, which he says will henceforth take charge of identifying vulnerable children to benefit from the initiative.

He says it is not fair that the intended beneficiaries, who are supposed to be those from poor families have not been given priority.

Mr. Chitotela stated that strict measures will be put in place to ensure the education scheme only benefits the vulnerable.

He however disclosed that the number of beneficiaries has been increased to 76 this year, from the previous 70, with 35 thousand kwacha to be paid for children in various schools.

Mr. Chitotela was speaking to journalists at Mushota primary school soon after giving out scholarships to 76 school goers.

    • Indeed at Mushota’s primary school that daft chap living in Scotland only managed to reach grade 5 that’s when it was adopted by some Scottish missionaries who took it Scotland from whence it became what it is now. Indeed this program would’ve also benefitted it had it remained in Luapula eating imfuku and tente mushrooms.

    • Pompwe chabe uyu! Reflecting and synonymous with Lungu’s path to distraction of the Zambia human life from the outset.

    • This corrupt pig, he is suspending the committee that he constituted after his cadres, friends and family have benefited.

  1. I do not know why this guy is still executing his duties. What happened to corruption charges? I think Lungu is part of it. I feel sad for the people who are suffering just because of politicians. What can I do to help?

  2. Comment:He can not dissolve himself when he has not been dissolved by…..Kano imuntu uwakwata insoni,pantu insoni ebumtu kwasila.
