10 women groups in Lilanda were yesterday empowered with one thousand village chicks under the Presidential Empowerment Fund.
Speaking during the handing over, Presidential Empowerment Fund National Coordinator Clement Tembo said the donation is aimed at enabling women start up their own chicken rearing business.
Mr Tembo said government is aware of the hardships faced by citizens and hence decided to empower women with startup chicks.
“President Edgar Chagwa Lungu has found it wise to share with 10 women groups by empowering them with a starter pack of 100 chick per group with feed and all the necessary medicines out of his good will,” he noted.
He explained that the women will be given 100 chicks per group, starter feed, grower feed, finisher feed and all necessary medicines.
He further noted the importance to empower women as they are mostly the ones who look after their families.
He also assured women that the empowerment fund will benefit all regardless of political party affiliations as it is government’s role to care for the affairs of all its citizens.
Mr Tembo urged the women to work hard so that the business can grow and help other groups as well.
Meanwhile, Christine Tembo, a beneficiary from Lilanda described the donation of chicks as timely.
Mrs Tembo said women in her area have been struggling with capital to start their own businesses.
Congratulations to the beneficiaries. When Parley is reconstituted next year we’ll outlaw such Presidential empowerments as they’re a vehicle for corruption. Such programs must be through the Ministry of Community Development and Social Welfare. Development can’t be at the behest of a corrupt individual, twakana
10 women groups empowered out of 150,000 women groups in the country. And what is the source of this same money. And why is this money not channeled through the ministry of community development,. Who approved this illegal structure called Presidential empowerment fund.. Ministry of Community development was designed for such things with the right intelligence to identify real vulnerable groups and also equipped with the infrastructure to deliver.

Presidential empowerment,,,the govt,,100 chicks per group,the govt cares,and we truly think that it is empowerment.
Never sell yourself cheap even when others are selling themselves cheaper than you are willing to sell yourself.
Wonderful things ….the works of the president continue to be seen in all aspects of life…
2021 and beyond
Let’s do some arithmetic. 100 chickens for K75 to sell. K7500. Suppose there are 10 women in each group. They get K750 each. This is if no chick dies and they sell all the chickens in time 18 to 20 weeks from now. If they repeated this in a year, they will have K1500 each. This is what is called Presidential empowerment!
It is just a gimmick.
The way these empowerments are flowing, like mice on rice within one year. Wondering what criteria is being used.
100 chicks per group of women. I know a group with 50 women. This translates into 2 cickens (inkoko shobili) per woman hoping tapafwile nangu kamo. 100XK60=K6000 after 6 weeks when they sell the chickens. Remove labour costs and reinvest. It will grow over time but it requires a lot of patience3 bane. It also requires stopping the Chinese from rearing cheaper GMO chickens. God luck.
The Chiluba style – Presidential empowerment Fund, parte after parte. After being President, court after court.

many are the times that man is the only provider in the house and when he dies first the family remains suffering… its good that the president is empowering women so that families are stable even without the man
You’re working hard for this nation but still utu puba tule talika. Keep it up Your Excellency.
Felix Chileshe job well done indeed. such a hard working president
the works of the PF government are enormous and loud enough that we do not want to see petitions next year
the opposition should just concede defeat
empowering women is improving stability in homes as well as reducing stability. Job well done president Lungu????
The work is very much appreciated Your Excellency…this is developing the nation. You’re not leaving anyone behind.
Your works will always speak for themselves your Excellency… Job well done
This will take the women a long way. ECL the President of sustainability ??
It is great to see that the government is aware of the hardships people are facing. President Lungu has a heart for the people. Atleast the women can start up chicken rearing businesses to earn themselves a living.
Women of Lilanda must be very happy. This is a very thoughtful initiative Mr President
Empower a woman and you empower the whole nation. This your agenda of inclusiveness is very impressive Ba kateka
Nachamba Manda – This is very good, but where do such useless slogans of yours come from?
I do not know why people are complaining.
He himself told you that he had no vision.
You all knew he was a drunkard.
And you all knew about that widow that got swindled by him.
But as soon as he told the nation that he was humble, people voted for him.
Vote wisely.
This empowerment will definitely go a long way thanks your Excellency for this donation
Keep empowering the women , they are the home keepers….
