President Rupiah Band will today be in Chongwe District for campaign rallys and the commissioning of the Chongwe Water Treatment Plant.
President Banda has made provision of safe drinking water one of his key priorities since assuming office in 2008.
Today’s event is testimony of the MMD Government’s commitment to the promises it has made to the Zambian people.
The President’s Special Assistant for Press and Public Relations Dickson Jere confirmed this in a statement yesterday.
Mr. Jere said the Government has provided the District with financial resources for the improvement of rural sanitation, including areas around Luangwa Bridge which also require good sanitation.
‘Provision of such life-supporting services is in line with President Banda’s seven-point development plan which he intends to implement from 2011 to 2016. Point number-seven is on how the MMD Goverment will ensure the creation of a better health service for all Zambians,’ he said.
While in Chongwe, the president Banda will also address his first public rally in Lusaka Province since the announcement of the date for the tripartite elections which will be held on September 20, 2011.
“Once again, the Head of State will explain to the Chongwe electorate the reasons why he should be re-elected, having already delivered unprecedented infrastructure development and improved the Zambian economy,” said Mr. Jere.

Masebo with her Aunt Chieftainess Nkhomesha thinks they own the people of Chongwe district and can dictate to them what to do. Show them that you are independent thinkers. Paja ponse Masebo Masebo who is she by the way? To hell with Masebo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

desparation
The ‘whole’ President commissioning a water treatment plant! He has been using these events as a campaign tool for some time now. In normal govt. work, these things are commissioned by junior govt. officials while the President concentrates on bigger national matters. Its not even necessary sometimes to make a fanfare of what a govt. ought to be doing anyway.
1st Prize
Rupiah Banda’s desparation buffles me. I was one of the people that provided Technical input on this Membrane Portable Treatment Plant which was given to WEC projects of South Africa to design, supply and commision in 2007 through a worldbank tender. This corrupt government has nothing to do with the Project as the money was paid by the World Bank directly to the Project consultants and vendors as a loan to Lusaka Water and Sewerage Co. That was long before Rupiah because president and baffles me that he’s only now commisioning a Plant which has been operating since August 2010.
Rupiah can fool MMD bafoons who have nothing tangible to do except looking for handouts from Hampty Dumpty, but can not fool elite PF members and technocrats. Donchi Kubeba, wilalilalila…. shiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
RB today commissioned the sunrise and the sunset saying they are the result of good MMD policies. And he warned people not to vote for Sata…. blah blah
Dear Lusaka Times,
I am glad you have even shown the picture of the president so that we can even admire him!
Imagine what would have been said of him if all these three years he had nothing to show? All these derogatory attacks against would hold water. But hula! he is moving from tangible project to tangible project, leaving the opposition with no effective challenge against him.
Let opposition talk of something else, but failure is not among them. He is moving slowly but surely. Next, it will be salary increase for civil servants while he continues to subsidize inputs for rural communities; as economy gets stronger it will be readily available jobs for our youths, etc.
What can they say that will hold water? Nothing!:((
