North Western Province has continued to be excluded from the development occurring in other parts of Zambia ,most notably PF strongholds.This was brought to light by Kabompo Mp Ambrose Lufuma.
Honorable Lufuma sought clarity on whether North Western province is a part of Zambia and whether the One Zambia One Nation slogan is still valid. Honorable Lufuma said whilst members of parliament from Luapula, Northern,Eastern provinces etc can stand on the floor of parliament and cite the massive development taking place in their provinces by PF ,this can not be said of North Western Province. Other provinces boast of new district hospitals,schools and roads and yet not one health post,school or feeder road has been built in North Western province by the PF government.
Honorable Lufuma said PF is violating the constitution of the Republic of Zambia which clearly says resources must be allocated equitably because North Western province is not getting it’s fair share.He said the people of North Western province are tax payers and deserve equitable distribution of resources.
Honorable Lufuma said money allocated to provinces does not only come from Provincial budgets but also from the Investment budget from the Ministry of Finance.The Investment budget is what PF uses to deny development to provinces deemed to be UPND strongholds.
“We have to live as brother and sister, as one Zambia one Nation but it has to be demonstrated otherwise we feel as orphans.PF is under obligation has to ensure that North Western province gets it’s fair share,”he said.
List of promised development projects seen in other parts of the country except North Western province
1.Rural connectivity program:This is a program sponsored by the World Bank to rehabilitate feeder roads in rural areas.Only 6 provinces have been done and North Western Province is not included in this.Earlier this year Government said it would work on 2,000 kilometres of feeder roads covering all chiefdoms in Northern Province.
North Western province has seen ZERO kilometers of feeder road construction. Hon.Lufuma lamented that North Western province has a lot of resources and if the feeder roads system is not improved in the province how can marketing be improved.
2.Roads: Link Zambia 8000 project was launched by the late President Michael Sata on September 20th 2012. The people of North Western province pleaded to the government for a new Chingola/Solwezi road for many years however due to the mines in North Western Province contributing over US$80million the road was built.
3.Health posts: 8 years ago the PF government embarked on building 650 health posts across the country.In North Western province none have been completed.However whenever there is an election the Minister of health promises a mini hospital which never materializes.
4.Education: The late President Sata announced that each province in Zambia would have a University.Whilst Muchinga province has 2 universities ,North Western province has ZERO.The University of Mathematics and Science that was promised for Kabompa in 2011 has still not materialised. Hon Lufuma said even the promised Lewanika University in Western Province has not materialised.
The Kabompo member of parliament said by not sending teachers or building tertiary institutions in North Western Province, “education genocide” is being committed by deliberately excluding North Western province from governance of the country.
5. Bridges: Every time theres an election, PF promises the people of North Western province a bridge. From the former PF Vice president ,Guy Scott who promised a bridge to be built across the Zambezi river in Zambezi district to connect Zambezi to Zambia in 3months ,to the current Vice President Inonge Wina who also promised a bridge. Minister after minister promise bridges but nothing is done.
Honorable Lufuma said when it comes to North western province it takes an eternity to have a project done but when it’s a PF stronghold projects are done expeditiously.
This is blatant discrimination by PF of the people of NorthWestern province. Really PF? No hospitals,no roads, no schools? It seems its foreign investors that have no choice but to help the province since the government does not consider it a part of Zambia as evidenced by their actions.When Kavindele wanted to build a railway line in North Western province he has blocked ..why?
This fu1cking MP is lying. Why don’t you ba1stards appreciate what government is doing in that province. The Chingola Solwezi Road has been built by NAPSA and not that bullsh1t is talking about. There are 8 secondary schools being built in NWP and among them is Kayombo Boarding School in Kabompo, Mushindamo Girls, Kawama Boarding school in Mwinilunga etc. There are 3 hospitals being constructed among them is Chavuma, Mwinilunga etc. I blame the current who has done little to dispel the notion that the Mines built Chingola Solwezi Rd
Out of the 74health Posts, 9health posts were completed Solwezi and the reason why the others weren’t completed was contractual. All the districts in NWP are now connected to the electricity grid which never happened in MmD under LPM. The Kipushi Solwezi is also being constructed using NAPSA funds. Bushe imwe bafi1kala Mwaba Shani kanshi
I blame the current Minister Mubukwanu who has done little to dispel such lies. There’s a lot going on in the Province. How about the 5Kms dual carriageway in CBD. Also plans to connect Solwezi to Kolwezi in Lualaba province are advanced. That’s why you bast1ards should continue in opposition
So the chingola solwezi road was a hoax!! When ecl visit these provinces, the MPS boycott these meetings .. and don’t participate in development issues for fear of being punished by HH. Do why are they complaining?
Upnd mps have strict instructions from hh himself not to get involved in “PF govt” programs. Hence these mps deserted their constituencies. Ask anyone who has been to Solwezi, Kabompo etc and they will tell you the places have been neglected by their mps. Mps are suppose to heckle and engage controlling officers and ministers to develop their constituencies. This is fertile ground for PF to take over some constituencies.
Don’t spread falsehoods just because you have access to the internet. It is the governments responsibility to look after the whole country not just provinces that vote for them.There is a party and there is a government. Government collects tax from ALL Zambians and government is custodian of ALL citizens. PF strategy is to develope Northern and Luapula because if they have votes in those 2 provinces they can win regardless. This is detrimental to the country long term. NWProvince has mineral and natural resources that can transform the province and the country as a whole.But neglecting it is a form of genocide and lack for foresight.
It is a lack of foresight by that oval headed twit!! Instead of telling his mps to push a development agenda through GRZ, he tells them to abandon all “PF” personnel and programs forgetting that GRZ doesn’t belong to PF but the people of NW province. Business success story but a political failure and U5. Hazaluza hagain!!!!
IWE’ CH@NGA, DONT BLAME U.P.N.D FOR YOU , FAILURES, COLLAPSING THE NATION, NEPOTISM, CORRUPTION, & TURNING ZED INTO A BONAFIDE FAILED SH!TH0LE REPUBLIC, WHERE G@YS & U.P.N.D ARE NOW BLAMED FOR EVERY PROBLEM, INCLUDING K4IZ@RS VIOLENT UNCOUTH BEHAVIOUR, LOADSHEDDING, DEPRECIATING KWACHA, 48 MYSTERIOUS MANSIONS, WHEELBARROW, ESWAT1NI GATE, & MUKULA SAGA’!!
Rott3n corrupt P.F collect cash from mines in N.W province + taxes, but citizens of N. Western don’t see any benefit from their huge financial national contribution, whilst T@s!la is swimming in millions of U$D she even keeps in her kitchen, where employees have been known to help themselves..
Is it really H.H responsible for this P.F R0T?? BIG NO!!
PF needs to go ASAP, they are ignoring places with valuable mineral resources and high economic value like southern and Northwestern. These places have high ROI than the PF strongholds. The roads and infrastructure in these strongholds is almost underutilized and unnecessary running pipes to grass-thatched huts and dual carriageway in places with very few motorists is wasteful. I pray the God Lungu claims to adore sees his unfair actions and acts on behalf of these victims.
Lungu is a disaster, I hope by God Zambia will not have any other president like him.
The humble man is a thief , a tribalists, a violent corrupt thug, very reckless on international diplomacy, a drunk , will be found to be the most corrupt president Zambia has had and hopefully the example made of him will deter others that follow….
One would hope after the “Lungu Wabantu” disaster, Zambia’s would learn a lesson NEVER AGAIN to appoint to the highest office any Crooked Drunken Alcoholic & speculating chancer of a pimp to run affairs of the Nation, thereby affording to such access of keys to the national treasury.
Unfortunately DON’T have any hope Zambians have learned from this disaster, despite maximum hunger!
This is a Nation of Citizens lacking in analytical assessment skills, that vote for someone as long as theyre offered a bucket of Chibuku, piece of cr@p chitenge, & a D.J playing Rott3n music, while a Kadansa leader pretending to be humble fwenkula’z to their amazement. Next to be voted to State House will be that C0ckr0@ch ka Tayali.
Lies, lies lies! Its PF Government that has brought light from darkness in North Western Province and this so called MP deliberately chooses to ignore this milestone. Chingola Solwezi road has been done by the PF whether the money came from Government or not matters the less. People watch out on lies by UPND and HH as you may well be aware especially as 2021 approaches. Remember this is HH last attempt at presidence and expect drama in UPND
It is also PF which has brought DARKNES to al aspects of life. GAFY

I personally blame Minister Mubukwanu. He hasn’t done much to dispel such lies coz he is never in the Province. When Parliament goes on recess, he goes to Mongu. There’s a lot government has done in NWP which even their beloved Mwanawasa didn’t do. Problem these people don’t appreciate
Be serious ba MP, are you telling us what we see in that area are pictures from other parts of the country? And to be honest you are even lucky because there a lot of development in your area,you fond of walking out of parliament you don’t represent your people and today you cry foul. This is useless ndugusakuwa
Ba Ndungusakuwa kaili balasontapo pama projects. Niyesa kanshi?
HH if start fighting in 2021…..
What do expect from a bunch of thieves governing a national, pocket first the rest later…. Think of people like Chitotela.. Walking scotfree
At least Solwezi can boast about 3 shopping malls unlike a few years ago. Monze doesn’t have despite Southern Province being the 3rd largest Contributor to GDP. Underdevelopment is a combination of factors in this area. People who come from there fear to invest back because of witchcraft. These chaps are bad. The tiff between Luvale and Lunda is the reason they can’t speak with 1 voice
There’s too much misinformation from these bast1ards. I blame Minister Mubukwanu who is never in the Province
Muletasha basheteni. I fly in Solwezi in the morning and back to Ndola in the evening. We are seeing serious changes in the province. Isoni ebunthu.
Yes PF is a failure in many ways BUT to believe that it has a deliberate policy to leave out NW or any opposition stronghold from development programmes is NOT true.Infact,Provinces like Luapula are far neglected than say Southern Province where from Sata’s time PF had been doing alot with the hope of winning them over.If today you see the road from Copperbelt to Luapula,(where at former Infrastructure Minister came from) it is a sorry state.Pliz fellow Zambians DON’T BE CHEATED OR FEEL HATED,WE ALL SUFFERING TOGETHER! At least under PF we hear of some meaningful projects in roads and energy infrastructure in NW,never heard of under MMD!
You must keep them in the dark, away from hospitals and schools. God forbid they have the opportunity of education. What if they realise what a terrible job the Patriotic Front are doing in Office? Better keep them in abject poverty so that all it takes to buy their votes in 2021 are a few bags of Mealie Meal. This is true Zambian politics at work.
Fight for education please while they build roads in the hat they regard as there bedroom.
@Spaka says and I quote “Lungu is a disaster, I hope by God Zambia will not have any other president like him.
The humble man is a thief , a tribalists, a violent corrupt thug, very reckless on international diplomacy, a drunk , will be found to be the most corrupt president Zambia has had and hopefully the example made of him will deter others that follow….”.
I couldn’t agree more!! This inept fake President is drowning Zambia and umungulu Zambians are still sleeping.
Up to now he has even failed to memorize basic economic fundamentals…to explain what his plans are to fix the economy.
Please wake up Zambia!!!
Is it possible for compatriot “Kapolyongo” to be more courteous by avoiding the use of filthy words like “fu1cking” and “ba1stards”? Zambians in general are more civilized and, as such, expect even anonymous online comments to carry some degree of decency.
