MP SHARES PROGRESS ON WATER REHABILITATION PROJECT IN CHIMWEMWE CONSISTENCY

By: Evelyn Ngoma

Chimwemwe Member of Parliament, Allen Banda, has announced that significant progress is being made on the rehabilitation of water pipes in the constituency. The project aims to ensure a consistent and clean water supply to residents, addressing the long-standing water challenges faced by the community.

Speaking in an interview with Hype FM News, Mr. Banda emphasized the importance of this initiative, highlighting the difficulties residents have endured due to inadequate water supply. He also brought attention to the challenge posed by the current power supply schedule, which hinders water pumping operations in boreholes that supply water to the residents.

To mitigate this issue, Mr. Banda revealed that he has appealed to the ZESCO Regional Manager to adjust the power supply schedule to the afternoon, which would facilitate water pumping. He assured that once the appeal is accepted, the adjustment will be implemented in collaboration with the police to ensure the safety of ZESCO property and prevent vandalism, particularly at night.

Furthermore, Mr. Banda called on Chimwemwe residents to collaborate and support the ongoing installation of new water pumps. He expressed appreciation to Nkana Water and Sewerage Company for their efforts in improving water services in the constituency.

By: Evelyn Ngoma

In a significant move to strengthen health services in the district, stakeholders have made a commitment to allocate a minimum of 5% of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) to health financing starting in 2026. This pledge was made after discussions on immunization issues in the district, held during the Kitwe district stakeholders meeting on CDF for health financing, hosted by the Churches Health Association of Zambia (CHAZ) in partnership with the ALEJO Community Support Project.

The stakeholders, comprising Ward Development Committee members, councilors, CDF chairpersons, and members of the Technical Appraisal Committee, have also made several other commitments. These include prioritizing immunization strategic services in CDF planning and disbursement, supporting health facilities with solar-powered vaccine fridges to mitigate load shedding challenges, and providing transportation such as motorbikes to improve outreach services. Furthermore, the stakeholders have pledged to join forces in advocacy efforts for increased domestic financing for immunization.

This collective commitment aims to catalyze a shift in how local development priorities are structured and financed, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and sustainable investment in public health.

Speaking at the same event, Kitwe City Mayor Mpasa Mwaya emphasized the importance of strengthening health financing in the district to build healthier communities. Ms. Mwaya highlighted immunization as a critical area that saves lives, prevents diseases, and reduces child mortality.

She noted that the local authority is working in partnership with CHAZ to make health financing an inclusive process, ensuring that health services are accessible and equitable to all members of the community.

Meanwhile, Kitwe City Council's Director of Health, Dr. Francis Liwali, raised concerns over the mortality rate among children under five in the city, emphasizing the importance of vaccinating children against diseases like measles, rotavirus, and malaria.

He highlighted the need for resources like transportation, cold chain systems, and solar infrastructure to keep vaccines potent.
