President Hakainde Hichilema says the government will provide equipment to support formalised and safe gold mining in Chitambo district of Central Province once re-elected into office.<\/p>\n
President Hichilema says the government will provide the right mining tools to registered cooperatives to enable small-scale miners in the area to enhance their operations and realise maximum benefits from mining.<\/p>\n
The Head of State said this when he addressed a public rally at Chitambo\u2019s Mpelembe Secondary School Grounds, this afternoon.<\/p>\n
President Hichilema also pledged to build a befitting district hospital with mortuary services in the underserved district.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Head of State told the people of Chitambo that the government would take electricity to Mpelembe Ward and build a bridge across Loumbwa stream, which gets flooded and becomes impassable, especially in the rainy season.<\/p>\n
President Hichilema appealed to the people of Chitambo to vote for him and United Party for National Development (UPND) aspiring parliamentary and local government candidates for continued development.<\/p>\n
He highlighted some of the major developmental achievements of the ruling UPND, such as the Free Education Policy, which has become law, infrastructural projects in health and education sectors through the enhanced Constituency Development Fund (CDF), the mass recruitment of teachers, health workers, police, Zambia Air Force (ZAF) and Zambia National Service (ZNS) officers.<\/p>\n
And President Hichilema emphasised the need to reduce the bus fares in response to the fuel prices that were reduced last week.<\/p>\n
\u201cNext Month, we shall further lower the prices of fuel to lower prices of other essential commodities,\u00a0this will mean that the cost of transport and bus fares must also come down,\u201d said President Hichilema.<\/p>\n
He further noted the reduction in the price of cement from K176 to K158.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, President Hichilema called for unity within the party saying the general membership should embrace new members and support whoever is contesting parliamentary and local government seats on the UPND ticket.<\/p>\n
