Rufunsa Member of Parliament, Kenneth Chipungu, has advised traditional leaders to organize their subjects in their respective areas to enable them access social services in the area.
Mr. Chipungu was speaking today at Chinyunyu Basic School when he addressed village
headmen.
Mr. Chipungu, who is also northwestern province minister, observed that government
is failing to provide social and health services in the rural parts of the district
because people live in villages which are scattered and far apart.
He also called on the chiefs to consult the local authority in the district whenever
they want to open up new settlements.
He said lack of collaboration between councils and some chiefs has resulted in
mushrooming illegal settlements.
