Veep Kunda promises Mufumbwe a high school at campaign rally

Vice President George Kunda

Republican Vice-President George Kunda has directed the Ministry of Education to budget for a day high school in Mufumbwe next year.

Mr Kunda made the directive at the weekend during a campaign rally at Kalengwa Upper Basic School for MMD candidate Mulondwe Muzungu in the April 29 by-election, in which the United Party for National Development (UPND) is fielding Elliot Kamwendo and UNIP Stephen Kamwengo.

Mr Kunda directed Education Deputy Minister Richard Taima, who is part of the Muzungu campaign team, that the school should be built in Kalengwa as it has a rising population and had good grade seven and nine results.

“Mufumbwe needs a day high school apart from the boarding school we are constructing. I am assuring you that we shall budget for the school and that’s a promise to the people of Kalengwa,” he said.

Mr Kunda said the MMD could make promises and fulfil them as the party was in government and controlled the budget, unlike the opposition parties.

  1. These people really think the electorates are stupid. Why hasnt that high school been built all along?
    Why now?

  2. # 2 you are asking why now? well these people are so desperate that i would nt be surprised to hear them promise a bridge where there is no water!!!

  3. More Schools
    More pay to Teachers
    Less pay to Ministers

    One out of three Mr George was fair attempt.

  4. 🙂 🙂 promises promises, blessings in disguise hah? if Bonshe ddnt die Mufumbwe was not going to be promised a high school…?? this is not write. Where are the govt long term plans, where is their development strategy? Always acting on impulse…so for some constituency to see change or be promised any hope they should lose their MP of wait for next election campaign??? awe sure wake up zambians.

  5. NEXT TIME GEORGE WILL PROMISE THEM A UNIVERSITY………..@# DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM # 3 YOU ARE CORRECT

  6. Bo G. Kunda. I think the whole royal Lozi establishment will be happy to have you as the next President becos you are humble and a true nationalists. Not Sata who deliberately hates Lozis. Look he lost 3 times. Do you know the reason why? He has strong hatred for Lozis and he is arrogant. But for us we will support every capable leader. Sata could have by this time been in State house if he considered to put G.Lubinda as his Vice. But he will never do that bcos of his hatred for Lozis. VIVA Kunda. Just work very hard to win 2011 and you are the next president and we vote with hapiness. NOT THE COBRA.

  7. #9…Ba Jupiter naimwe, u can’t c that G. Kunda is dying sure? The man knows that he’s about to kick a bucket that’s why he’s making promises any how. open your eyes and see what’s behind those promises. Don’t be short sighted:-?:-?:-?
