President Hakainde Hichilema has commissioned the newly built Mambwe District Hospital in Malambo Constituency, Eastern Province. The state-of-the-art facility is expected to significantly improve healthcare delivery in the region, where residents have long struggled to access quality health services.
President Hichilema, speaking during the commissioning ceremony, reaffirmed his government’s commitment to delivering quality healthcare to all corners of Zambia. “Our government is determined to take quality health services to all the corners of our great nation, and we are doing everything possible to improve healthcare delivery,” the President said. He also expressed gratitude to Zambia’s development partners for their support in making the hospital a reality.
The Mambwe District Hospital is part of a broader initiative by the Zambian government to enhance healthcare infrastructure across the country. President Hichilema emphasized that these new facilities would be equipped with adequate manpower through the recruitment of healthcare personnel. “We will continue to ensure that these facilities are adequately staffed to serve our people,” he added.
We are now living in peace after hounding out the Patriotic Front regime
Earlier in the day, President Hichilema attended the Kunda Malaila Traditional Ceremony of the Kunda-speaking people in Malambo Constituency. Upon his arrival at Mfuwe International Airport, the President addressed a large crowd, thanking the people of Malambo for their steadfast support during the time his party was in opposition. He noted that the country’s current peace and stability were a result of their decision to vote for change.
“We are now living in peace after hounding out the Patriotic Front regime,” President Hichilema stated, while commending opposition Members of Parliament, including Chama South PF MP Davison Mung’andu and Chipangali MP Andrew Lubusha, for their cooperation with his government in delivering development to their constituencies.
“We are working with the opposition political party leaders to deliver development. This is what the people want to see,” the President said, emphasizing that unity and collaboration across political lines were essential for national progress.
On the issue of climate change and hunger, President Hichilema assured citizens that his government was implementing measures to mitigate the effects of drought and ensure food security. He reiterated the government’s commitment to ensuring no Zambian dies of hunger, especially in drought-affected areas.
MP Davison Mung’andu praised the government’s free education policy, highlighting its positive impact on children in his constituency. “For the first time, many children are now back to school for free,” he said, acknowledging the many developmental projects being carried out under the Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
Andrew Lubusha, MP for Chipangali, also expressed appreciation for the government’s intervention in addressing hunger in his district. He mentioned that the “cash for work” program had significantly helped alleviate food shortages, and the distribution of relief food by President Hichilema’s government had demonstrated a commitment to serving the people without partisan bias.
The President’s visit to Eastern Province was a one-day working tour that combined tradition and development, reflecting his administration’s broader vision of unity and national growth. As President Hichilema put it, “We are One Zambia, One Nation, One people. Together, we shall overcome the challenges before us.”
The Malaila Traditional Ceremony celebrated the rich cultural heritage of the Kunda people, while the commissioning of the hospital marked a significant milestone in improving healthcare for the people of Mambwe District.
Peace in darkness; kaya!
Mr. Prezdo, please pay more attention to crippling blackouts and leave such commissionings to the health minister. This is what’s more likely to “hound” you out!
Choswe chenjela pakanwa, amalanda kanwa without sense nibu kontwe.
koswe, kulemala kwa kuzimitsidwa kwa magetsi kumayambitsidwa ndi chilengedwe. Osati Purezidenti yemwe akuyesa kuwonetsetsa kuti agonjetsa nkhani yodalira mvula yamphamvu.
What exactly you want him to do about the blackout. You can buy from other countries if you have the money or plan for the future. What your suggestion?
I think the Supreme leader Ayatollah Hakainde Hichilema should focus on the loadsheding and deteriorating Zambian economy….its about time he stopped talking about PF…..elections were 4 years ago for Gods sake….
HH really doesn’t care about fixing the Zambian economy his economy in his own house is good and we have jokers in opposition
Community House, State House and allZESCO board members, senior executives’ houses bd offices shall also be blacked out for a minimum of 23 hours a day. This shall include ministers, MPs and PSs. These are ou servants and shall be on the same boat.
Creating peace in total blackout is
Not very good.Without power the country is at standstill.

This man is having sleepless nights because he has failed to match up to what Lungu did .Lies have short legs
You mean borrowing to the point of destitution???? Leave the country with huge debts and no major investments in energy????
I didn’t think Lungu could have a rival for his laziness, lack of initiatives, idling, and lack of planning but HH has whacked him to the floor on all those attributes. HH is as bad as Lungu just halfway into his term. What is his strategy if any? At the end of it all I can easily see he will be worse.
Failure to invest in energy is attributed to all past successive governments, even for the current government if the current energy crisis was not there, it was going to be the usual business as usual
We would not have been in this position if UPND or the New Doom govt had not exported power beyond what the water levels could accommodate. Even now in the depth of load-shedding they are still exporting to please foreigners!!
Because Police no longer invade Community House to harass HH then the whole country is at peace? Peace? Ask Jason Mwanza, Chanda Chikwanka, Thomas Zulu, Mumbi Phiri, Rizwan Patel, Justin Kolo, Sean Tembo, even JJ, Fred Mmembe Sean Tembo who have all been detained on flimsy dreamt up political charges some of which dont require jailing.
Just ten months ago the US Dept of State told the world: There were no significant changes in the human rights situation in Zambia. There were credible reports of arbitrary or unlawful killings, including extrajudicial killings; torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment by the government;
The Zambia Human Rights report this year says there’s been no changes in human rights violations and lists those dead under police torture to include, Maxwell Mwila, Captain Phiri, a 14 year old girl detained at gunpoint and raped by a police officer in Kaputa etc. The Human Rights watch has a litany of police breaking laws to arrest opposition. Chishimba Kambwili is reported to have been arrested and charged with unlawful assembly after a group of youths protesting the high cost of living assembled outside his residence in Lusaka.
Or could the president be celebrating the fact that noone in his stronghold provinces has been similarly detained since he came to power?
LT have censored my post above. In this arbitrary censorship they are acting like the IBA regulating online posts as instructed by the Ministry of information.

Zesco and his handling will be his bye bye song we seeme to be going towards a failed state
Surely he can see this
We are at peace because of the blackout. Even the violent cadres from both sides are staying at home.
Mambwe District Hospital in Malambo Constituency of Eastern Province. Very neat and tidy staff. Another PF project. But knowing Zambians just go there next year and you will find a cobweb infested crackling building with stained walls and staff without uniforms
No its not a PF project , rather it is a GRZ project paid for by all Zambian taxpayers.
