Kapiri Mposhi traditional rulers have passed a vote of no confidence on area Member of Parliament and Community Development Deputy Minister Friday Malwa for failing to effectively represent the electorates.
The traditional rulers who included headman Mwanja, Headman Kantumoya and headman Mwanawakabwata accused the MP of inefficiency and failure to visit the constituency since he was elected in 2006.
The traditional rulers said this at a meeting addressed by Central province minister Ackimson Banda yesterday.
‘Go and tell president Banda that we do not want Malwa here and also tell him, Malwa, that we have rejected him.
They said they loved the party MMD and would continue voting for the ruling party even if nobody went there to campaign but were only disappointed with the kind of political leaders representing them because they allegedly failed to tick.
In defence of the MMD MP, Mr. Banda said it would be unfair for the people of chief Chipepo to accuse Mr. Malwa who is also Community Development Deputy Minister of having failed them because the his constituency was so vast that he could not manage to reach all corners within a short time.[quote]
Mr Banda further said that government would reduce Kapiri Mposhi constituencies to make it manageable.
He told the traditional rulers who included senior headman Mbofwana and headman Mwanja that they should remove the notion that they did not want Mr. Malwa because he would visit them as well.
And Mr. Malwa said it was not true that he had neglected the electorate in his constituency. Speaking to ZANIS in a separate interview in Kabwe, Mr. Malwa said he was on the ground to ensure that people’s expectations were met.
He explained that he had been to the constituency six times this month adding that there were works to show that development was being delivered to the area.
Mr. Malwa said Ngabwe road, which passes through Mpunde, was being worked on and already 17km had been done while Chipepo boarding school was under construction at a cost of K23 Billion and more boreholes for
safe water would be drilled.
‘I have not abandoned the people of my constituency, am with them and I will ensure that through government, they receive the much desired development.
” We have also completed a clinic at mumba chaala where we are waiting for the ministry of health to send staff and it will open soon,’ he said.

constituency reduction, does this not simply mean re-zoning? In short merge enlightened people with a larger nonchalant crowd inorder to win or achieve a desired goal :d/
Malwa is cheating,the Kabwe/Ngabwe road has never been graded for the past five years or so. The only road road which is graded every year is Kabwe /Lukanga road. People from Chief Mukubwe and Chief Ngabwe take their goods to Luanshya coz the road to Kabwe was washed away a long time ago and therefore no vehicles can use this road. Malwa though that is were he comes from has does not even visit the constituency. If he does, then it is at night when everyone is asleep.
Ba Malwa, which part of the constituency do you visit? Along the main road? Get down to the pipo that are complaining and sort out your s.h.i.t man!! Be real. You are now being kicked out of the adoption process. Its just this year to consolidate your little mandate SCUMBAG!
# 4, even along the main road the man is not seen..when he visits, he comes at midnight at Serenje Turn-Off with his cadres drinking OR whatever they do..in town the main road leading to TAZARA station that even brings little income to the council is full of craters, God knows why its not tarred..anyway let him eat for this remainder of his term..AYENDA!!!!!
come 2011..we need change..malwa and his fellow chaps need to go!!viva pact!!
Malwa is one of the worst MPs in Zambia. Such calibre of people deserve the boot in 2011….no matter which party they choose to stand on!!!!
…..”his constituency was so vast that he could not manage to reach all corners within a short time.”
Surely Mr. Banda; you mean 4 years is such a short time?
This is the useless politicians syndrome which makes them want to perpetually continue to hold political office. Each term-end, they discover they haven’t even started doing anything. Zwaa with all your bosses!!!.
I know this Malwa chap personally. A holder of a first degree and even higher qualifications and married a white. All the time seeking the good out of life with minimal work done.
was his constituency so vast during campaign period? i want to thing the period from 2006 to date has been longer that the time during the campaigns. anyway this is Zambia, the real Africa!
Mr. Malwa give us back our constituency Lukanga, we need someone who can help us to solve our problems. Imagine from Lukanga swamp, Kaswende area up to Kapandwe we have no clinic up to now and with only two primary schools, please, please listen this is the only time. Share with others since you have mentioned that the constituency is vast.
