Chienge Constituency Office Professional Assistant counsels his clients to refrain from using party regalia when visiting his office

Chienge Constituency Office Professional Assistant Mpundu Mwape has counselled members of the public in Chienge district visiting his Office to refrain from wearing party regalia because his office was non-partisan.

He said some visitors to his Office were refusing to sign in the visitors’ book while others were taking books out of the office without following a formal arrangement which was not resonating well with parliamentary decorum.

Mwape said the constituency office was a public office which should be visited by all members of the constituency who wanted to raise any issue with their area MP.

He said the office was not a political office for partisan politics or a meeting place to discuss partisan issues but a place of meeting for bringing issues of public and common concern to the attention of the MP for him or her to take to parliamentary in Lusaka for national attention.

He said his office was open to all members of the constituency regardless of their political affiliation, gender, status in society or religion because it was a public office.

Mpundu added that his office was a formal meeting place for the member of Parliament and his constituents in order to exchange ideas and information for the electorate to empower their MP in carrying out his work effectively as their representative in parliament.

He urged Chienge people to develop a good habit of visiting his office to read some literature on parliamentary debates, government departments’ annual reports and newsletters on contemporary issues affecting the governance of the country.

And Chienge Member of Parliament Brigadier General Benson Kapaya said he was available to his electorates all the time and if he was in Lusaka attending parliament or in Mansa administering the province, his electorates should visit his parliamentary office and leave any message with his professional assistant who always updates him on what the people were doing or wanted to be done in the constituency.

He said his professional Assistant was up to his call of duty all the time and he was a committed public servant.

    • @Kolwe- Mpundu Mwape of Lima Time has nothing to do with Chiengi. He was born in Mongu where his parents still live, and that’s where his village is. He is “Lozi”. He is thus part of the beauty of being a Zambian. Just that politicians tend to mess us up by stirring tribal sentiments.

    • What wrong has he committed? I thought he was just reminding us of the correct things to do. I think it is you who is immoral and still living in ancient times ba tata. This is a Problem of being a Panga Family cadre. You have no mind of your own.

    • @Humanity
      You have completely missed the point. The constituency office is for all citizens resident in that constituency and not just for party members. Get the gist!

  1. Thumbs up to this Constituency Office Professional Assistant Mpundu Mwape. These are politics we must practice. not fya cnp on sosala

  2. The problems starts from your heads those who wear what ever they do have nothing to do with your sick minds, even if they wore a ton of blankets you would still have infected minds, just sick help and stop infringing other peoples rights!

  3. It seems some people have a problem understanding what he meant by ‘party regalia’. ‘Party’ here does not refer to a gathering where people are dancing and having a good time, but rather to political groups.Hence ‘regalia’ does not mean some skimpy provocative clothes but those clothes designed with images of political leaders.So there’s nothing immoral about his statement and no one is sick in his mind. He is encouraging people to come to his office as citizens and not as members of specific political groups.His office is for everyone.
