PF Deputy Secretary General Mumbi Phiri says government is aware of challenges affecting most schools in the country.
Mrs. Phiri says government is also cognizant of the shortage of learning and teaching materials especially in peri-urban areas.
Speaking during the handover of assorted learning materials and Sports equipment to schools in Serenje Central Constituency over the weekend, Mrs. Phiri said the shortage of materials negatively affect the provision of quality education to learners.
The Deputy Secretary General has, however, said government is doing everything possible to address the challenges through the provision of learning and teaching materials.
And Serenje Central Member of Parliament Maxwell Kabanda said the donated sports equipment will go a long way in promoting physical education.
Mr. Kabanda said the equipment will also be used as a tool for talent identification among learners.
The Serenje Central lawmaker said he is grateful to government for responding positively to the cries of the people in the constituency.
He has implored the local authority to safeguard the equipment meant for community use and ensure it is used for the intended purpose.
Meanwhile, Serenje District Education Board Secretary Harry Silungwe has assured safety of the materials.
He said all schools will get their share.
A party functionary being aware of the shortage whilst the Someone claims he is on top of things
But why have they continued stealing?
Overnight the world was changed due to covid. It is expected that challenges would be experienced. No one was given notice to prepare for a pandemic. We thank you for all you are doing in the education sector
Look Mumbi, sometimes she looks so calm and romantic. But most of the time she like a cricket.
But madame sure,
There has been a shortage of school essentials since you came into power.
Have you only just realised this?
Did you know that children are learning under mango trees coz there are no desks or buildings?
I know elections are near, but this type of governing is very bad.
Season of fake promises has started ka?

THREE ARMS OF GOVERNMENT ARE THE EXECUTIVE, LEGISLATURE AND JUDICIARY, DOES THIS MP KNOW THAT HE IS Part of government? The should have said he was grateful to pf for the donation, ninshi tulekasabaila infintu so, such that people dont even know where there jurisdiction starts and where it ends?
Mumbi Phiri when did she become the government spokesperson!?
This what we call confusion in the party and government.
PF must go!
@Mandilu system , you are right on this one. Imagine Madam Mumbi Phiri had to travel all the way to Serenje so as to hijack the work of the DC and DEBS of Serenje District. Truly Madam Mumbi has a lot of time or absolutely nothing to do.
She doesn’t know her role in the party either, a month ago she told us that PF had sent investigators for illegal gold mining in North Western province and todate we are still waiting for that report.
How can a public issue become a party issue? These are the dullest people ever governed the country no wonder things are falling apart.
There is no distinction in party and government functionality.
PF must go!
Of course they are aware! I mean, they are the ones who are busy stealing all the resources meant for education, and health!
So what if you are aware….??
One metre social distancing guideline …,broken
Living within your means … broken
Record levels of stealing …..
Industrial levels of corruption…
Poor standards of justice …..
You are aware but you would rather buy fire tenders and ambulances and jets etc at over inflated prices than buying them at correct prices and using the balance to fund schools. Oh I forgot bicycles now.
This statement is not a party issue but a baby of the ministry of education . Mumbi Phiri has no right to comment on this as it outside her boundary .This is why Zambians think that this government is clueless .
Kikikiki, you almost admitted failure but you still hanging on that you’ll do something about it , don’t you. Well you better work like the Chinese cos time is against you as you know 2021 is around the corner.
