Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Luanshya Municipal Council has taken a significant step towards community empowerment by disbursing over 5 million Kwacha from the Empowerment Fund to 137 cooperatives in Roan Constituency. This allocation, aimed at fostering economic growth and development, has been distributed in various forms of grants and loans, benefitting a total of 137 groups within the constituency.<\/p>\n

Roan Member of Parliament, Joel Chibuye, highlighted the transformative impact of President Hakainde Hichilema\u2019s vision, emphasizing the effectiveness of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) in driving local development initiatives. Chibuye noted that the implementation of CDF has garnered increasing support from constituents as they witness tangible results across constituencies nationwide.<\/p>\n

Chibuye, who operates as an independent MP aligned with the ruling United Party for National Development (UPND), urged constituents to rally behind the government\u2019s efforts to revitalize the nation\u2019s economy. Addressing attendees at the certificate presentation ceremony for CDF beneficiaries, held at Roan Antelope Secondary School, Chibuye commended the UPND\u2019s commitment to uplifting Zambians\u2019 living standards, particularly in Roan Constituency.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the government\u2019s initiatives, Chibuye pointed to the forthcoming commissioning of Twenty-eight Shaft mine, a significant milestone in revitalizing economic activities within the region. He reiterated his dedication to executing the UPND\u2019s manifesto, underscoring his alignment with the party\u2019s development agenda.<\/p>\n

Echoing Chibuye\u2019s sentiments, Luanshya District Commissioner Oncemore Ngonomo emphasized the importance of utilizing the CDF funds judiciously for community development projects. Ngonomo lauded President Hakainde Hichilema\u2019s leadership, stating that the government prioritizes addressing the needs of the people.<\/p>\n

One of the beneficiaries, Maxwell Kapambwe, expressed gratitude for the support received through the CDF, noting the positive impact it has had on the lives of community members. Kapambwe highlighted the transformative effects of the fund, affirming its role in driving socio-economic progress within Roan Constituency.<\/p>\n

As the UPND-led government continues to implement strategic initiatives aimed at fostering inclusive growth and development, the collaboration between local leaders and constituents remains crucial in realizing the nation\u2019s collective aspirations for prosperity and well-being.<\/p>\n
