Kapijimpanga ward chairperson, Jacob Mashimango has advised the new dawn government to unreservedly fulfill its campaign promises to maintain it popularity.
Mr Mashimango says there is need for his party to ensure that it delivers its campaign promises so that Zambians do not feel cheated.
He says 2026 is not very far for the party to relax and start discriminating against those who may want to join the UPND from other political parties.
He said this when Solwezi constituency Member of Parliament Stafford Mulusa visited Mapopo area in Chief Kapijimpanga’s area to thank the electorates over the UPND victory in August 12, 2021.
“We should not discriminate against those who want to join our party…whether PF, DP, SP they are all welcome “, he said.
Mr Mashimango said rural communities have a lot of challenges ranging from lack of clean water, lack of teachers houses coupled with shortage of health workers in health facilities and poor road network which need urgent attention.
The councilor said the UPND party was voted into power because people had hope that it would bring change and improve their lives.
And Solwezi central constituency Member of Parliament, Stafford Mulusa said the UPND leadership will not let the Zambian people down.
Responding to the concerns, Mr. Mulusa said throughout Zambia, North-western province is the only area where the UPND was given 95 percent votes at all levels from the councillor to the President.
He encouraged the women and youths to form cooperatives so that they benefit from the K25.7 million constituency development fund (CDF).
“President Hichilema has said out of K25.7 million, K10 million should go towards youths and women programs…so make cooperatives”, Mr Mulusa said.
He asked the people to look forward to 2022 when the UPND national budget will be implemented.
“I am aware my constituency has a lot of challenges which the previous government did not pay attention to…but I assure you the UPND leadership is very committed as you can see from the recent increase of the CDF allocation”, Mr Mulusa said.
He said come next year when the UPND budget starts working all the current social challenges will be swallowed and addressed.
Mr Mulusa warned that with the free education coming in 2022 any parent who will fail to take the child to school shall be punished.
The Solwezi central constituency Member of Parliament is on a two day tour going round the 12 wards to thank the electorates for voting the UPND into power during the 12 Augusts, 202 general elections.
Dollar start going up from K15 of PF campaigns period to now K17 on UPND watch.
If PF could bring dollar from K23 to K15 in one month, I don’t see logic why UPND couldn’t take it down to K10 in one month.
PF promised more money in peoples pockets, after 10 years there was nothing. Don’t compare serious parties like UPND to PF jokers. And for clarity UPND has a 5 year constitutional mandate and promises can only be declared fulfilled or non fulfilled after 5 years, anything out of that is just politics by the defeated party
No body and i say no body put a gun to hichilema to make those promises
therefore he must fullfil them all whether he likes it or not.
1. Fertilizer K 250 per 50 Kg
2. Free education from grade 1 to University
3. A bag of Millie meal K50
4. Media freedoms (Zn UPND bc) no difference
5. He said no to borrowing but in a space of four months 2.4 billion dollars has been borrowed by under5 government
BLAH BLAH
WAKE UP SHOW ME A POLITICAN WHO DOESNT LIE
AND I’LL TELL YOU JESUS IS COMING TO VISIT
EVERYTHING IN GOOD TIME PEOPLE
Lies are not good they appear easy and simple but they bring insurmountable problems to a liar they degrade him to the lowest grade of a human being, they are also trap to future engagements with business partners.
Lies are not our relation as they kill friendships I just dropped one friend from my list because he lied to me by giving me a check for cash and put it on my name I trusted him , and when I deposited in the bank I found out he didn’t sign it.
This guy lied to me I don’t respect or want to be companions with liars they are a problem.
@ George , the pf cadre. The promises were made to UPND supporters and answerable only to them. The rest of you including the pf cadre mashimango, u must go ask Lungu & Sata in his grave for more money. We owe nothing u thieves.
And u ve no right to comment on Zambian issues , especially if we didn’t invite u. We are UPND and in power and we will run this country our way. Fullstop! U equally ran this country your own way with PF – fullstop!
@ Dr. Google it’s not to be argued on the promises that caught favor of the 1.8 million voter’s but @ I am whistling it’s correctly advised when analysis on fulfilment of the promises can be made! Mind you, consider too that PF took two terms to “succeed” putting the country in the mess it is in!
Man must be dreaming.
