CHIEFS Chipepo and Sikoongo of Chirundu District in Lusaka Province have hailed President Edgar Lungu for what they termed as a dedicated fight against the further spread of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic that has ravaged the world.
The Chiefs who spoke through their representatives in their various localities when Patriotic Front PF Lusaka Province Youth Chairperson Daniel Kalembe paid courtesy calls on them separately, said Presiddent Lungu had shown exemplary leadership during the continued fight against the spread of the virus without politicising it.
Chief Chipepo who spoke through his representative said that his Chiefdom was committed to working with President Lungu's government having witnessed massive development in the area across all sectors.
Chief Sikoongo who spoke through his Deputy Chief said he was humbled by the way the ruling party had been conducting their donation activities in Chirundu and other parts of the country with the involvement of the traditional leadership.
"Mr Youth Chairman sir even as you go back to report to His Excellency the President, Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu, please tell him that we as a traditional leadership in Chirundu are forever humbled by the manner in which his party PF has been conducting its donations having to involve us the traditional leaders from the begin of their programmes as opposed to the conduct of some other political parties and their leaders who are just going on and about to make donations minus notifying the chiefs who preside over their subjects on a daily basis," Chief Sikoongo said.
Chief Sikoongo narrated how some named political parties have been going round making donations and handing out materials to people who can even afford to buy their own masks at the expense of those who are vulnerable and unable to afford.
Meanwhile Patriotic Front Lusaka Province Youth Chairperson Danniel Kalembe has thanked the two chiefs for their continued cooperation with not only the PF in the fight against the COVID-19 but also government departments mandated to undertake preventive measures in Chirundu.
Mr Kalembe said that it is President Lungu's desire to see a safe and healthy Zambia devoid of the deadly coronavirus that has so far claimed seven (7) lives in Zambia since the first case was recorded.
Mr Kalembe donated assorted COVID-19 preventive materials valued at twenty thousand kwacha.
The materials include Hygenix Hand Washes, Sanitizers, Face Masks and 250 litre drums and supporting stands among others.
And Chirundu District Commissioner Stafford Kayame has thanked the PF Provincial Chairperson and his team for their involvement in the prevention of the further spread of COVID-19 through the various donations made to Chirundu.
"We as a District administration are grateful to you Mr Kelembe and your team for the commitment and help rendered to us during this fight against the COVID-19, we want to urge you therefore to continue helping us in this fight whenever you can because this disease knows no politics"
