REBIRTH OF A NEW CONSTITUENCY IN MPIKA, A HERO UNSUNG.
Let me take take this opportunity to single out one selfless leader whose relentless pursuit for continued development silently contributed immensely to the rebirth of a new constituency in Mpika. He used his wisdom, experience and dialogue approach to add an important voice to numerous voices that we all echoed in our efforts to see another constituency reborn in Mpika. He targeted the right people with precision and presented his case with undeniably powerful reasons as to why we should have another constituency again.
Thank you Honourable Mwimba Malama
for putting politics aside so as to advance an agenda that is about a greater good of society. Thank you once again for making your relevance to the advancement of humanity available when we needed it most. God richly bless you!
Looking at the political landscape today and where power lies, yes we needed a sincere and powerful voice that would find it's way into the right people and into key institutions of decision making. This has taught me one thing and which I would selflessly share to those seeking political offices that with a proper approach even an opposition voice can be heard. It is the same with lobbying for development, not everything should be on camera or on social media until the desired results are attained or achieved. Being in opposition is not a call for endless and unproductive fights. However, in the midst of challenges, there is need to put our egos secondary and a common good of the community primary.
I will be failing in my commitment to patriotism to Zambia as my only home if I can't commend the Republican President, Mr Hakainde Hichilema for displaying unconditional and selfless leadership by listening to our humble voices and looking into our plight as residents of Mpika and the nation as a whole. People were made to believe that, you would manipulate the delimitation process in favour of the United Party For National Development's strongholds but you allowed every genuine and sincere voice to be heard and in the real end, the Electoral Commission of Zambia delivered a largely fair delimitation exercise.
And to all of us who fought and contributed publicly and added voices to calls for a new constituency, I say job well done, your patriotism can not go unappreciated.
Thank you!
I remain:
