Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>President Mr Hakainde Hichilema has assured the people of Luapula Province that government will address the low power supply the province experiences, currently. President Hichilema says as part of plans to address the issue , government will ensure that it works on the Kalungwishi hydro power project.<\/p>\n

The Republican President said this in Mwansabombwe yesterday when he graced this year\u2019s Mutomboko Traditional Ceremony of the Lunda people of Mwansabombwe District.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe promised to address the energy crisis seven months after we are elected, and we said we will do so through alternative sources,<\/p>\n

\u201c We remain committed to that, and part of the this solution here in Luapula we will work on 300 Megawatts Kalungwishi hydro power plant,\u201d the President revealed.<\/p>\n

The new dawn government wants the public to take advantage of the available resources, said Mr Hichilema adding that his administration will do its part to ensure opportunities are available for people to take up.<\/p>\n

Among these opportunities is the vast mining potential in the region where entrepreneurs can venture into away from depending on fishing. \u201cThe country is endowed with resources which we want our people to take advantage of and here, we want our people to venture into mining.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur forefathers fought wars, now our war is against poverty so that we ensure that our children have jobs and we will ensure that we create various opportunities since that is what you elected us for,\u201d he said. Mr Hichilema said government is not in competition with chiefs but wants to work in partnership to ensure development to the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cChiefs serve the people government also serves the people, there is no need for competition since we serve the same people, what we need is to complement each other in bringing development to the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Hichilema has since called on chiefs to work with government and ensure that they monitor government projects. Among these is for chiefs to monitor and ensure that there are desks in schools in their chiefdoms.<\/p>\n

On Chief\u2019s wellbeing , President Hichilema stated that his administration wants to maintain the dignity of traditional leaders by providing decent housing for chiefs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am aware some chiefs stay in undignified houses, have no water, we want to ensure such are addressed among our chiefs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that traditional leaders and government have a duty to protect children from child marriages adding that to curtail the vice, it is important that children are given time to attend school so that.<\/p>\n

Earlier Tourism Minister Rodney Sikumba disclosed that the Ministry is in the process of building traditional museums throughout the country. Mr. Sikumba revealed that the move is aimed at showcasing the country\u2019s tradition throughout the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment is committed to ensuring that traditions are preserved, this is the ministry wants to ensure that it build museums all over the country for people to have access to through the yea,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

And Mwata Kazembe of the Lunda speaking people of Mwansabomvwe Town has hailed government for actualizing its campaign pledge for free education. Speaking through Mutomboko Midlands Organising Committee Chairman Robbam Mwaba, the Mwata Kazembe said more children are now in schools.<\/p>\n
