President Hakainde Hichilema has thanked the people of North-western province for giving him the highest votes in the just ended August 12, general elections.
President Hichilema expressed gratitude to the people of NW province, for giving his administration the highest votes in the just ended general elections.
He said this when he addressed a rally at Kasapa school grounds in Mushindamo district yesterday, to drum up support for UPND candidate that Kalilele ward, Gladys Kashimoto that fell vacant, after the death of UPND candidate just before the August 12, general elections.
Mr Hichilema has told the people of Mushindamo that government is still working with the PF budget up to December, but will have a new budget drawn in January 2022, expected to look at the needs of the Zambian people.
“You will see a difference once we start using the UPND budget”, he said.
ZANIS reports that President Hichilema noted that his administration will ensure decentralisation of resources for the benefit of the local people, especially when it comes to contractors.
He pointed out that local contractors will be given priority when it comes to the construction of local structures thereby, creating employment for the youths.
President Hichilema added that resources to be used for building various structures will be bought from local resources.
He said he is aware of the various problems that the people of Mushindamo are facing such as trade restrictions when transporting their merchandise to Kipushi border for trade, and that ZNS will be engaged on the matter.
“I am also aware that the Kipushi border road is in a bad state and will be worked on”, President Hichilema said.
He said he is also aware of the land issues that the people of Mushindamo have been facing, where they were displaced and land given to an investor.
The Head of State further said that he is also aware of the challenges faced by the police such as the lack of an adequate station, inadequate human resource and vehicles.
Speaking earlier, North-western Province Minister, Robert Lihefu told the President that the people of Mushindamo were depending on him for development.
Mr Lihefu added that the people of Mushindamo have lagged behind in terms of development and were depending on his administration.
Others participating in the Thursday local government by-election include, Dainess Kabunda of Democratic Party, Likando Wamunyima of PF and independent candidate, Patrick Mwewa.
President Hichilema was accompanied by party Deputy Secretary General, Patrick Mucheleka, Minister of Labour, Brenda Tambatamba, North-western Province Minister Robert Lihefu and other senior party officials.
Thank you Northwestern province for helping to save Zambia from a cabal of looters and visionless destroyers.

There’s no such a thing as UPND budget, That’s misleading principles according to which something is designed. Start using GRZ budget please.
“The money you pay in taxes goes to many places. In addition to paying the salaries of government workers, your tax dollars also help to support common resources, such as police and firefighters. Tax money helps to ensure the roads you travel on are safe and well-maintained. Taxes fund public libraries and parks.”
Even where you got ten votes helped you win the election. If you subtract those small votes you will see that the results would have been different. Thank everyone not just one group of people. One kwacha will reduce one million to 9,999.00.
HH please its” UPND Alliance” Budget. Not just UPND only. You and friends are trying clean the alliance partners from the Alliance.
THABO …….. Have ever heard HH mention the alliance partners of late? From the so called ” Alliance partners” he only respects Milupi. The rest forget.
Where is Enerst Mwansa? Where is KBF? Where is Akafumba ? Where is Atanga? …..Nipano tuli!
Handsome and sexy smile from the president. Excellent
Deja Vu, please let your criticism have some measure of credibility. The man has already thanked Luapula where he got second lowest votes. He is thanking provinces as he visit them. What is wrong with him stating facts! We are all thankful to NWP. Those people voted for RB instead of HH in2011. They did not believe in Sata and Lungu being best for Zambia.
NW, Western and Southern are just asking for their share of the cake that’s all. No racism or tribalism. The people of these provinces are asking for decent hospital, airport, schools, roads to match the contribution to the overall cake. We need to increase the number of cities and our aim should be uplifting our provinces to city status.
#7 Bijanga, let opinions be opinions. Let my observations be observations.
Time for campaigning is already gone people want to see things fixed, as you promised them at the moment there is nothing completely nothing on the ground, what are you waiting for?
You are the slowest president Zambia has ever had and you are not the first but the seventh president, may be you could even be the dullest of all.
See how long it took you just to announce your cabinet almost three years when you would have done it in two days if you were that intelligent.
Move on people want to see change they were promised no more talk please, put your hands on the plough till the land.
He has a PHD in fake promises.Bubela, watama mwisho
