Mongu------- President Rupiah Banda says Government is focused on alleviating poverty and bringing prosperity for the benefit of all Zambians.
The President said this when he addressed a large gathering during a rally held at Ushaa Basic School to drum up support for the MMD’S candidate in the Luena parliamentary by elections, Mwangala Maopu scheduled for 5th August, 2010.
President Banda told the people of Ushaa that by voting for Mr. Maopu, the people of the area and Luena as a whole would reap a lot of benefits as they would have a representative working with the majority members of Parliament who have influence in allocating natural resources.
The President urged the people of Ushaa not to give Alliance for Democracy and Development (ADD) candidate Charles Milupi a second chance as Member of Parliament because he failed to implement any major developmental projects for the benefit of the citizens in Luena.
Mr. Maopu is a former teacher who has said to have worked so well with the local people.
Other contestants running for the Luena seat have been floated by the United Liberal Party, former ruling party United National Independence Party (UNIP) and United Party for National Development (UPND) and ADD.
