By Donna Mbalwe Chingola Mayor Titus Tembo has donated food stuff worth K2,000.00 and cash of K500 to the Kayeye family of Chiwempala who has a young woman Mirriam Mofya battling from strange skin rash.

Mirriam 23, with two children started suffering from the strange skin rash three years ago.

Mr Tembo made a prompt visit to the Kayeye family and promised that he would take over the matter so that Miriam can be given medical support.

Mirriam is kept by a grandmother who happens to be a widow and literally struggles to put food on the table.

During the visit it was discovered that the same rash has started spreading to the other family members including her four months old baby who she even weaned because she cannot continue breastfeeding as the rash was contagious.

As per promise the Mayor made, the District Health Director has since been informed and the family was referred to Nchanga North hospital where they took some samples awaiting for results and some medicines have been prescribed but she has only managed to buy some due to financial constraints which the family is going through.

Well-wishers who would love to assist this family with the medicine or even food stuff can render their help through the office of the Mayor.

Elevate Councillorship to a full time job

Dear Editor I write to appeal to President Hakainde Hichilema and the New Dawn government to consider including the position of Councillors as full time paid Civic Leaders with monthly salaries and allowances as submissions for constitutional reforms are made. Having being in touch with reality on the ground about the work of our Councillors, it is just noble that they are fully employed and not the current situation where they are deemed to be part time yet are always busy attending to unending community issues. Sadly, this is always happening at their expense most times, which to me is unfair. These are the first point of communication with the Members of Parliament who are on full time job, salary, government vehicles, among other emoluments. We cannot continue over looking their input to help the running of our vast country. The three thousand kwacha allowance they are given monthly is just but a drop in the ocean, hence my appeal. We cannot trivialize their positions because like the President, MPs, Mayors and Council Chairpersons, are equally elected into office, one argument that makes them qualify for full time civic leaders. Let us lift the lives of our Councillors just as they are identified as Honorables in society. We cannot have them walking to Council Chambers to go and deliberate on national matters. Since our MPs and Mayors are full time, I feel the same should apply to our Councillors. I am however cognizant of the price such an under taking comes with on the treasury, but also alive to the fact that if they are important to the running of government and implementation of government projects, they too deserve better from their government for their work. It is my prayer that my appeal gets to our able and ever listening President Hakainde Hichilema. Wisdom Muyunda Chingola Read the full article

Mr Kalusa said that monies that have been made available for projects running must be handled with care and monitored accordingly. The PS was speaking during a familiarization tour, where he visited various projects to appreciate the works in the three Districts that Mulonga operates in. He said that the water utility company must by all means ensure that projects are completed, because uncompleted projects are costly to the country’s coffers. “As you know, water is life and for residents to be productive, they have to be healthy that is why Mulonga has to improve on water rationing and production,” he said. And Mr Kalusa encouraged Mulonga water to sensitize residents on the challenges the company is faced with in terms of water production so that the reason for shortage of water is understood. He assured the water utility company of Government’s support but the company has to see to it that water is treated properly. Mr Kalusa also said that the Ministry will ensure that some laws are passed against vandalism of water pipes, so as to deter vandals. “Our laws were very weak in this area, we are trying to see how the act can be improved so that we can have stiffer punishment for vandals, just like the power utility has stiffer laws that deter vandalism,” he said. Mr Kalusa also appealed to the Mayors’ of Chingola, Chililabombwe and Mufulira to ensure that the water utility company is given land titles on time to avoid land encroachments. Mr Kalusa said that Government will be attending to pressing issues and not focus on what was done wrong. And MWSC Acting Director Ndila Hamalambo assured the PS of improved services to the people. Mr Hamalambo said that the company has a number of projects that will lessen erratic supply of water in all it service towns.
