LUWINGU BASED BUSINESSMAN REFUTES MP'S CLAIMS ON HIM.
A Luwingu based businessman has refuted claims by Lubansenshi Constituency Member of Parliament Taulo CHEWE, of being a CDF beneficiary for a construction project in the district.
Stephen Katongo has explained that the misrepresentation of facts that were said on Lwansase Radio on Sunday September 7,2025 during the "Taulo CHEWE No Buyantashi program", was far from the actual facts.
" Yes I'm a contractor at Misambula Secondary school under the World Bank program, not CDF," he said.
He charged that the statement made on the radio by Mr. Chewe's representatives meant to mislead masses by creating a wrong impression to people,of him benefiting under the CDF construction project,when infact not.
" Such statements can create unnecessary anxiety among the people who might think that the construction of Misambula Secondary school is under CDF,yet in reality that's World Bank project", Mr. Katongo added.
And when reached for a comment, Mr. Chewe explained that the funds used for the construction of the Misambula Secondary school and CDF are still government funds.
" Either he likes it or not,the project he's working on is being funded by the same government that is funding CDF, so there's no difference", he said.
The Lubansenshi lawmaker said this in a telephone interview with Lwansase Radio News this afternoon.
