Vice President George Kunda says government will continue with its developmental programmes in all parts of the country without discrimination.
Mr. Kunda said this is important in the country’s endeavor to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of the people.
Speaking when he addressed a campaign rally to drum up support for the MMD candidate in the Luena by elections Maopo Mwangala at Ndanda Primary School yesterday, Mr. Kunda called on the people in Luena to elect a leader who will effectively represent them in parliament.
He said Luena constituency has continued to lag behind because its former Member of Parliament did not effectively represent the people.
He warned them against voting for the opposition because they are always opposing government in its endeavor to take development to the area.
He said there was need for people in Luena to come along with government and ensure that their area receives equal attention from government.
Mr. Kunda said the MMD government has proved to be part of people adding that many across the country have now realized the need to align themselves with government.
“Our government seeks to develop all areas without any sent of discrimination that is why we have people coming back to the MMD,” said Mr. Kunda.
He said the opposition political parties can never offer solutions to the main challenges facing Luena because they do not control the budget.
He described the MMD candidate in the by election slated for August 5, Maopo Mwangala as a high quality candidate who would help change the state of affairs in the constituency.
“Government is a custodian of the development agenda of this country and we are the ones that control the budget so the opposition has nothing to offer,” he said.
Mr. Kunda called on the people to vote for Mr. Mwangala because he is knowledgeable and can work with government without confrontation.
UNIP is fielding Mutakela Mutakela in the bye-elections while UPND is fielding Muyunda Ililonga, ULP has Musole Katala as its candidate while ADD is fielding the former independent area Member of Parliament Charles Milupi.
ZANIS
This chap Kunda is so annoying. I feel ichifukushi each time I hear his comments. Utter rabbish !! Ka Judas
The VEEP says “the government will only develop areas that vote for MMD”
Kasama 2009.
That is DECISIVE actions not indiscriminately building Zambia.
George you are good damn liar when needed.
When Charles Milupi was in MMD he was a damn fine minister.
Now George says he was hopeless.
This is a MMD leader saying a MMD minister was USELESS.
George sometimes does not realise what he spews 10mins before he speaks again.
Why did Charles Milupi resign from MMD if they can achieve like George says.
George has lost the plot on how things are done and who is in power.
C.M was MMD and he could not achieve new projects then who is to blame?
A government who will not listen to one of its members.
ICHIKWANKA BACHIMWENA KUMAMPALANYA..in our leaders i do see any logic, a true leader shoud be there all the times but look what they do..when we vote for them when they go ,,they go for good now that they know elections are near busy moving up and down ,dishing out money. elections or not they must visit the zambians like the way they do during elections…kwena chilankalipa pantu batuchita ngabaiche.
