MUKOBELA WELCOME CDF INCREMENT FROM K36.1M TO K40 MILLION

UPND member, Evans Mukobela has applauded the proposal by the Minister of Finance and National Planning, Hon. Situmbeko Msokotwane, to increase Constituency Development Fund CDF to K40 Million.

Speaking when he addressed scores of Matero residents at Matero Market recently, Mukobela stated that the proposed increase in CDF was a commendable stride that will not only address the challenges the people of Matero were facing but also those of the general citizenry of Zambia.

Mukobela, who has his sights on Matero, encouraged the area MP, Miles Sampa to use part of the CDF money reserved for infrastructure towards the rehabilitation of community roads such as the dilapidated Kizito Road that links Common Wealth Road to Mungwi Road.

Warning that sabotaging the utilisation of the CDF which has become a norm by some opposition Members of Parliament (Mukobela) said the trend was not only punishing the ruling party but denying the people of Zambia a chance to live better, happier and fulfilling lives.

He further said that President Hakainde Hichilema had demonstrated unwavering support to the welfare of mothers during childbirth, hence encouraging CDF committees to continue on the construction of maternity annexes trajectory.

Mukobela further hoped that those entrusted with allocating funds for CDF projects would prioritize the rehabilitation of a mother's shelter at Matero Level One Hospital as well as paving and modernizing the premises of the mortuary at the health facility.

He also said he was of the view that the increased CDF will be used to work on ablution blocks of major markets such as Matero, Lilanda and Katambalala markets.

Nakacinda demands answers from Davies Mwila for trying to choose PF leader secretly

PATRIOTIC Front (PF) secretary general Raphael Nakacinda is demanding answers from PF member and former secretary general Davies Mwila for going to South Africa without the party’s permission.

Nakacinda stated that such an action undermined party unity and violated constitutional provisions.

In a letter dated 9th September 2025, Nakacinda accused Mwila of working with other senior party officials and some provincial chairpersons to travel to South Africa without authority from the PF Central Committee, the acting president or the secretariat.

The purpose of the trip, he alleged, was to identify a candidate and solicit funds outside the party’s established structures.

Nakacinda said Mwila’s conduct amounted to a violation of several provisions of the PF constitution, including breach of rules, bringing the party into disrepute, acting disrespectfully towards its leadership and engaging in activities deemed against the party’s interest.

“You are requested to show cause within seven days why disciplinary action should not be taken against you,” Nakacinda stated in the letter.

The internal wrangles within the PF have since drawn reactions from allied political players.

United for Better Zambia (UBZ) Party president apostle Hector Soondo has demanded that the PF leadership extend its disciplinary action to other Members of the Central Committee (MCCs) who plan to attend a meeting reportedly organised by opposition figures Sean Tembo and Chris Zumani Zimba.

In a statement, Apostle Soondo described the meeting as “illegal” and said any PF MCCs who attend would be guilty of insubordination.

“There is no way PF MCCs can undermine the secretary general’s directive by legitimising an illegal meeting. For the sake of discipline and party order, any member who attends must face suspension,” said Soondo.

He argued that participation in such gatherings would erode party authority, fuel confusion within the Tonse Alliance, encourage factionalism and ultimately jeopardise the PF’s preparations for the 2026 general elections.

Apostle Soondo warned that failure to act decisively would send a dangerous signal that rules can be broken with impunity, thereby weakening the PF’s credibility both within the Tonse Alliance and before the Zambian public.
