  1. Like I have been saying you will see Bwana Mkubwa constituency start getting all this development at the expense of rural areas all because the MP has been appointed Minister of Health…it just goes to show how unfair and easily manipulated the system can be, its no surprised Chilufya was able to channel everything to Luapula at the expense of other constituencies who need it most.

  2. IYI PICTURE BA LT YAKALE. THE PICTURE DOESN’T SHOW ANY COMMISSIONING OF ANY HEALTH FACILITY. YOU MUST HAVE SHOWN US AT LEAST ONE SUCH FACILITY HE IS COMMISSIONING. ALL THE READERSHIP WORDS FALL ON DEAF EARS.
