Kamfinsa developmen­t action plan

-

Dear Editor, OVER the last few months, we have been receiving submission­s on projects from residents who have attended my community meetings in selected areas of the constituen­cy.

On January 5, 2022, I met representa­tives of the four WDCs to begin working on the Kamfinsa Developmen­t Action Plan (KDAP) which includes list of projects that need funding over the next five years.

Residents who did not attend the community meetings but have suggestion­s to make, can submit their identified community projects to the Zone representa­tives for onward submission­s to their respective WDCs before January 12, 2022.

Parliament.

There is need to change this constituti­on but I can assure you, given the insults I received during Bill 10 deliberati­ons I will certainly not support any constituti­onal amendment.

For now Bill 10 is history what Zambians are expecting is food on their tables, affordable fuel, affordable commodity prices and better lives for all.

I will be willing to discuss constituti­onal amendments in 2031.

Once again I will not apologise to anyone for exercising my constituti­onal rights. our concrete that it the floor of the as members of
