ZRA TO RECOVER OVER K10.7M FROM UCZ
story in the comments

29/12/2025

To: Honourable Lufeyo Ngoma, MP for Lumezi

I write as a concerned citizen and teacher, appealing for urgent, strategic development in Lumezi.

Our greatest challenge is education. With over 120 primary schools but only one secondary boarding school, progression to Grade 8 is severely hindered. Many learners face unsafe long walks or drop out entirely. We must strategically invest the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) to build and expand local boarding schools and skills centres.

This educational crisis is worsened by our terrible roads, which delay emergency services, increase costs for farmers, and inflate prices for all. Road rehabilitation is a foundational need for any progress.

A related critical gap is the lack of a local fuel station, which risks lives in medical emergencies and raises costs for farmers and businesses. Providing this basic service would improve safety and stimulate the economy.

Finally, we must strengthen our economic backbone: to***co farming. Strategic CDF support should improve feeder roads, storage, and technical assistance for farmers to secure household incomes.

Honourable Ngoma, Lumezi needs leadership that prioritizes these interconnected issues. By focusing CDF and advocacy on education, roads, fuel access, and agriculture, you can transform our constituency's future. I trust in your commitment to this practical, people-centered development.

Respectfully,

Lemekani The Seed
Teacher.
