CDF when put to good use, can transform the whole country.
Copperbelt rural is slowly changing, remote areas are becoming accessible and connectivity to the market has improved greatly

Former Mpongwe DC Keith Maila writes

Dear Fellow Lambas,

For many years, as a people, we have been sidelined when it comes to representation in Government positions.

Currently, we only have:

1 Provincial Minister

1 Permanent Secretary

3 District Commissioners (out of 10 districts in our Province)

This situation is not unique to the current UPND Government—it has been the case under successive Governments. The only notable exception was during the late President Mwanawasa’s MMD era, when Lambas were given more recognition.

Even then, despite having a Lamba as Defense Minister and later a Permanent Secretary for Defense under PF, we failed to use these opportunities to employ and uplift our own children.

We even produced a Secretary to Cabinet—the most influential office in terms of recruitment—but still, we failed to prioritize our own.

This reality tells us one thing: we are not united as a people. Unlike other tribes that rally behind their own, we often fight and pull each other down.

If we want the Lamba tribe to be truly recognized, we must begin with unity, love, and support for one another.

We are fortunate today to have a listening President.

For example, when our Chiefs lobbied for the Provincial Health Director to be given to a Lamba, it was granted. This shows that with unity, other positions such as DEBS, DHD, and DACO can also be secured for our people.

Not all require the President’s intervention—our Provincial Minister is more than capable of handling such matters, but he needs our collective support.

Even in the case of the transferred DEBS, let us ask ourselves: was the Minister properly informed, or are we only assuming? We must always ensure he has the necessary backing to perform effectively.

We are very fortunate to have our own as Provincial Minister. Let us rally behind him and work together as one people.

Unity is the only way we will achieve recognition and progress as Lambas.
