President Hakainde Hichilema says the United Party for National Development (UPND) has made strides in delivering development that it promised the people.
Speaking during a public rally held at Palangoto Primary School in Luwingu District yesterday, the head of State explained that the teacher and health workers recruitment is evident that the party is addressing the high unemployment levels in the country.
“We have done a lot to improve the welfare of the people in the country despite being in government for a few months” he said
President Hichilema has since called on Zambians not to listen to the lies being peddled by some people who do not meanwell for the country.
“Have faith and patience because more development is coming to your consistency” the President stated.
And President Hichilema has assured residents of Lukutu ward that Palangoto Bridge will be worked on to ease transportation in the area.
He further added that a communication network and a health facility will be brought closer to the people.
“We understand the importance of social amenities and as such we will ensure that people are well taken care off” said Mr. Hichilema
He said this when he addressed residents of Luwingu at Palangoto Primary School.
And UPND Provincial Chairperson Victor Sinkala said the people of Lukutu ward are facing challenges due to the deplorable state of the bridge.
He added that transportation is key to development hence the need to urgently rehabilitate the road and the bridge.
Meanwhile, President Hakainde Hichilema has asked the people of Lukutu ward in Lubanseshi constituency of Luwingu district to vote for a United Party for National Development (UPND) candidate in the Thursday’s ward by election.
The President said voting for Peter Chanda of the UPND will ensure delivery of development in the area as it would be easy for him to work with the government.
President Hichilema has also promised that his government will work on the road network from Palangoto to Mwine Menda as well as the bridge at Palangoto.
He said he is aware of the bad state of the bridge and the road network in the area but indicated that it would be worked on soon.
He has further indicated his government’s commitment to delivering a health center and schools in the area.
“I am aware of the poor state of community schools, but I have no doubt that this will be worked on including the need to have a secondary school in the area” he said.

The President was in the area to drum up support for UPND candidate Peter Chanda in the fourth coming Lukutu ward by election.
Meanwhile, the president said he has decided to go to the area to campaign for the UPND candidate in the ward by election because he loves the people of lukutu.
He said contrary to views from the opposition that the President is bigger to campaign in the ward by election, he said he does not chose because he loves the people.
” I heard the opposition saying how can a president go to campaign in a ward by election,but I came here because I love the people of Lukutu. If people do not love you, they would not come here” he said
Earlier, Northern Province Minister Leonard Mbao stated that the government has already released money to work on the school and the clinic in the area.
Mr. Mbao added that the government has already planned to complete the bridge at Palongoto which has been neglected by the previous regime in the last ten years.
“The governments have failed to work on the Palongoto bridge for years, but this government will ensure that the road is worked on,” he said.
And UPND Provincial Chairperson, Victor Sinkala asked the government to work on the roads, schools and the bridge.
Mr. Sinkala indicated that the people in the area were neglected by the previous government.
The UPND’s biggest challenge isn’t broken promises but its paranoia. I don’t know what HH makes of the embarrassing incident in which the Joint Investigative Team exhumed the body of ECL’s former close friend on allegations that he had faked his death. Death is sacred and unless there’s a compelling reason should the deceased be exhumed. On what basis did they allege that he’d faked his death? Should they go to the extent of exhuming the dead just to satisfy their suspicion? Now that they’ve found him in his grave what are they going to do? I advise the UPND to begin to see things in their right perspective. And now we’re being told that the managers of the Zambian Watchdog have jobs at State House! Cry my beloved country
You will fulfill the promises you made? After EIGHT months in power, the question is WHEN? Zambians are seeing NOTHING – cooking oil prices UP, fuel prices UP, transport prices UP, useless travelling by the president UP, empty promises UP. START DELIVERING!!!
#1 Ayatollah That’s terrible
Please stop using the recruitment as an achievement. Each thousands of people retire from the government and we still have staff all the time. Why? It’s because recruitment has been going on. All you have done is to publicize the recruitment to make it appear that it’s happening for the first time. Aikona bwana this is a poor strategy.
Akali kunama uyu muntu? It’s a disease.

A court order was obtained to exhumed the body to obtain a DNA sample to assertain the real identity of the body………..
This is commonn practicse where foul play is suspected……….
It happens in every country with functioning law enforcement……….
And I quote “a great talkative is a great liar “…who said these words and what was the occasion…10 marks
It is total f00lishne55 to belittle the employment of more than 50,000 people within 8 moths! This is more than what PF achieved in 8 years!
When i was born 46 years ago Zambia’s economy was in a recession and has never come out of it. It will continue to be the same situation i dont think anything will ever change.
ABOVE YOU ARE WRONG
THE DECLINE STARTED WITH KK IN 1964
IT IS STILL IN DECLINE
ITS CALLED AFRICAN POLITICS
President Hakainde Hichilema says the United Party for National Development (UPND) has made strides in delivering development that it promised the people. With this statement among others, Mr. President you are a visionary leader. Implementation and control is vital in ensuring what you are envisioning come to fruition. My wish for you is to ensure that your capable team supports you in execution of all your initiatives, document and ensure that people are benefitting through employment or creation of small & lucrative businesses, and all these initiatives are sustained to generate fiscus for the country through taxation and changes people’s lives in real terms through quality and reliable infrastructure development. Wishing you the best in delivering your manifestos.
The world economy , Zambian political and economic dynamics plus international geopolitics will conspire to derail HH’s promises. That i can assure you.
Development is an on going process even in western Europe. It does not end. HH is right
After all this talk, the FACTS are; $1= K18, Fuel is K26 per liter ,Fertilser is K900 per bag. We won`t even talk about Mealie Meal,sugar or cooking oil.
Talk is really cheap. You can lie your way to State House but not PERFORMANCE. Numbers never lie.
Rember your words The president called the late Rb mhrip mr holiday for ever .Surely should the president spend so much on council bye
election three choppers plus the advance party for a local govt election no mr president you can do better .if we cant save money now then when?Then whats point in you sacrificing your salary then you acrue hefty allowances
in future for simple elections like these send local campain teams you can do better I know you mean well but the people surrounding you want to make kill for they overstayed in opposition for example yes frrr educa but trasport for our children to and from home to school is overwhelming to an extent that it has diluted the free in short the is no fre education unless you are just next door to the school .i…
#14 So tuma elections bakonkele? I thought he went to visit Mwine LuBemba
JUST THE FACT THAT PF IS GONE IS ACHIEVEMENT ENOUGH
GOOD RIDENCE TO BAD RUBBISH
AN ALCHOHOLIC MONKEY WITH A GAMBLING ADDICATION COULD DO BETTER THEN WHAT PF DID
At least HH has not lied to us about “more money in your pocket in 90 days” like some thuggish party did.
@MLEVI KACHASU
HH lied about bringing fertilizer down to K250 per bag, Dollar at K5, Fuel @ k11 per liter. Should I go on with his well documented lies?
