The Chief said this is a clear demonstration of not leaving anyone behind in terms of developing the country.

Chief Kaputa hoever said that there is need for Government to build more industries in rural areas to lift people out of poverty.

He says this is the surest way to create employment for the Zambian people and decentralising development.

Chief Kaputa said the investment in fruit processing plant in Katete and the Pineapple processing plant in Mwinilunga should be replicated in other parts of rural Zambia.

Chief Kaputa said creating a cassava processing plant in Kaputa will make the cassava sub sector viable and attract young people to engage in cassava farming.

And responding to the chief, president Edgar Lungu said his government will work towards delivering development to all parts of the country.

He said as Chairperson of the Industrial development corporation, he will engage his Chief Executive Officer to hear what plans he has for cassava production.

    Begging Begging Begging! My word!

    • I don’t think you know what the word begging means. The chief has not begged for anything. He is just asking government to supply what it is supposed to provide namely jobs, infrastructure and development.
