Government engages chiefs on Copperbelt chiefdom wrangles

Copperbelt Province Permanent Secretary Lawrence Mwanza says his office has started engaging traditional leaders, to resolve the rising chiefdom boundary wrangles in the region.

Mr Mwanza noted that misunderstandings over chiefdom demarcations have become a serious concern to government, hence the need to ensure that a quick and amicable solution is found before the issue deepens.

He said this when he and other government officials met traditional leaders at Chieftainess Shimukunami’s palace in Lufwanyama district to discuss the same challenges.

The Permanent Secretary has since directed the Department Of Lands And Natural Resources to conduct a thorough physical check of chiefdom boundaries and engage all necessary stakeholders to address the wrangles.
