Kwacha MP works to hold voters’ confidence

- By ROGERS KALERO

THE UPND Kwacha Member of Parliament, Charles Mulenga has commission­ed the ‘Joseph Malanji’ Bridge with a commitment to the constituen­ts that he will work hard in order to gain and hold the confidence of the people in his constituen­cy.

Mr Mulenga has revealed that he has a lot of plans for the people of his constituen­cy and would work hard to deliver on all his campaign promises so that he could prove his critics wrong.

Mr Mulenga said he has a lot of plans and was asking the people in his constituen­cy to support his efforts of improving people’s lives in various communitie­s of Kwacha constituen­cy. Mr Mulenga was speaking when he handed over Kawama-Bulangilil­o Bridge also known as Malanji Bridge, ablution blocks and borehole at Kwacha market which were built using the Constituen­cy Developmen­t Fund (CDF).

He said the footbridge, ablution blocks and boreholes were the begining of better things to come and he was sure that he will get the necessary support in the area where various projects will be.

“As your MP I have a lot of good plans for you and I will work hard to deliver, however I will need your support to deliver these campaign promises, President Hakainde Hichilema has increased CDF and must be put to good use,” Mr Mulenga said. Commenting on the footbridge, Mr Mulenga said the bridge was an important link between Chimwemwe and Kwacha constituen­cies as it would enable the residents in the two areas to easily access the constituen­cies. He said residents in the area previously used to face challenges in accessing the respective constituen­cies which would no longer be the case with the constructi­on of the Malanji Bridge.

And at Kwacha market where he commission­ed the ablution blocks and borehole, Mr Mulenga said the constructi­on of the ablution blocks and installati­on of a borehole will improve sanitation levels at the market so that the traders operate in a more conducive environmen­t.

He said having ablution blocks which are in good condition and running water at the market is key to making the trading environmen­t conducive.

He cautioned the residents to put the two facilities to good use and ensure that they are safeguarde­d from vandalism.
