*BA TOWN CLERK, KITWE DESERVES A BETTER WDC VOTER REGISTRATION PROCESS!*

I am deeply concerned about how the WDC VOTER registration exercise was handled by Kitwe City Council on 13-10-26 . ARE WE EXPERIENCING LABOUR SHORTAGE OR IS IT LEADERSHIP CRISIS AT MANAGEMENT LEVEL ?

According to the council’s notice, registration was scheduled for *09:00 to 15:00 hours* on 13-10-26, but officials reportedly arrived at 15:00 hours in almost all the zones and registered residents for only one hour, without communicating the delay. There was also inadequate public sensitisation, especially for residents who do not use social media and also the notice publication was done at SHORT NOTICE on 12-10-26 . WHY ???

*Ba Town Clerk, how can we build strong communities if residents are not given enough time and information to participate?*

Ward Development Committees (WDCs) are important structures for community development under Zambia’s decentralisation and devolution agenda. Residents deserve a fair opportunity to register and choose representatives who will speak for their communities.

I therefore appeal to Kitwe City Council to *review the exercise, improve public sensitisation and consider repeating or extending registration* so that no eligible resident is left behind.

As the President promotes the *Grow Zambia Agenda*, let us make community participation a reality, not just a promise. We have competent officers who can organise this process properly.

*Let the people choose their representatives freely. Strong WDCs mean stronger communities and better development for Kitwe!*

*BA KITWE IS IT WRONG FOR RESIDENTS TO CARRYOUT DEVELOPMENTAL PROJECTS IN THE COMMUNITIES THEY LIVE IN?*

Ba Kitwe, community development is everyone’s responsibility, *not elected leaders alone.*

MPs and councillors have their roles, but residents, community leaders, churches, companies, NGOs and volunteers also have a role to play.

🤝 *Is it wrong for residents to carry out constructive community works?* Absolutely not! Citizens should be encouraged to identify problems, mobilise resources and help improve their communities, while respecting the law.

*Let elected leaders lead, government deliver, companies contribute and residents participate.* We should complement one another, not compete over recognition or political affiliation.

Development has no political colour. Nobody should be discouraged from doing good simply because they are not an elected leader or belong to a different political party.

Let us work together for a clean, peaceful and developed Kitwe. Love must lead!

🇿🇲 *BA KITWE, LET US UNDERSTAND THE GROW ZAMBIA AGENDA AT LOCAL LEVEL! 🟢🔴*

*My Point of View*

The Grow Zambia Agenda is about growing our economy, creating jobs and improving people’s lives.

🟢 *GREEN MARKS — PROGRESS*

✅ More jobs and business opportunities for youths, women and persons with disabilities.

✅ Better roads, drainages, sanitation, electricity and public services.

🔴 *RED MARKS — AREAS TO IMPROVE*

🔴 High living costs and unemployment continue to affect many families.

🔴 Some communities are still waiting to see the benefits of development.

🔴 Recruitment and public resources must be managed fairly and transparently.

🗣️ *LET US LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE!*

Decentralisation should bring opportunities closer to communities, within the law. This includes fair access to jobs for teachers, health workers, accountants and other professionals. Volunteers’ skills and experience should also be recognised fairly without disadvantaging other qualified applicants.

When citizens raise genuine concerns, leaders should listen and find solutions. Speaking up respectfully is not fighting the Government; it is helping us identify what needs to improve.

🇿🇲 *BA KITWE, LET US WORK TOGETHER FOR A BETTER ZAMBIA!*

Let us appreciate progress, address challenges and work with our Mayor, councillors, MPs, businesses and communities to improve people’s lives.

*Development is not just about promises; it is about the positive changes people experience in their homes and communities. Let us build Zambia together through love, fairness and constructive dialogue.*

🇿🇲 *BA ZAMBIA, LET US PRAY FOR PEACE, RECONCILIATION AND LOVE*
🙏 As we go to church today, Sunday, 11th October 2026, let us remember Mother Zambia in our prayers. Let us ask the Living God to unite us in peace, reconciliation and love, regardless of our political differences.

The Bible reminds us in **Mark 8:36:** *“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”*

No political position or personal ambition is greater than the value of a human soul. Zambia’s economic stabilisation and the Grow Zambia agenda can be strengthened when we work together in unity, peace and love, putting our nation and its people above political interests.

Let us remember that *leadership is about serving people, not dividing them.* We are one people, one nation, under God.

May Jesus Christ guide our leaders, bless our families and keep Mother Zambia peaceful and united.

🇿🇲 *ONE ZAMBIA, ONE NATION! LET LOVE LEAD.* ❤️🙏

*BA KITWE, LET US DEVELOP OUR MAYADI AND OUR KOMBONI TOGETHER!*

As we plan our strategic management on our C*D decongestion strategy through our Mayor and team We must also think of developing our *komboni and mayadi communities* by improving our roads, constructing proper drainages and installing streetlights.

Imagine *Wusakile ward , Luyando Ward and Nyali Compound* with paved roads, proper drainage systems and solar streetlights! Our communities would be cleaner, safer, more beautiful and easier to access.

I therefore call upon our *communities, WDCs, councillors, MPs , Mayor , Kitwe City Council and stakeholders* to consider using CDF to procure productive machinery which have the multiplier effect on the community , including:

🛣️ *Industrial paving machines* to produce pavers and improve komboni and mayadi roads.

🌧️ *Industrial drainage-making machines* to create proper drainage systems and help prevent flooding.

💡 *Solar streetlights* to improve visibility and security in our komboni and mayadi communities.

These investments can create employment and business opportunities for our *youth, women and persons with disabilities (PWDs)* through machine operation, paver production , installation, maintenance and related services.

Let us use CDF to build infrastructure and also to create sustainable jobs and empower our people. With proper planning, transparency and community participation, our komboni and mayadi can receive the same quality of road and drainage infrastructure development.

*CDF must be a game changer!* Let us invest in productive machinery that creates jobs, improves public health, reduces dust and mud, promotes cleanliness and transforms our communities. members of Parliament @ kitwe councilors @ kitwe Wdcs @ kitwe city council @ Stakeholders @ Kitwe Community

*BA KITWE, LET US ACT TOGETHER TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES CLEAN*

The dumpsite shown in this picture is located in Chimwemwe Ward, under Chimwemwe Constituency, along Telemundo Road, Kuma poles.

This situation needs urgent attention. When people continue dumping waste in open spaces, these areas can slowly turn into permanent dumpsites, while also discouraging residents from supporting proper garbage collection services.

I respectfully call upon the newly elected Mayor, Councillors, Members of Parliament, Kitwe City Council through the Director of Engineering, the Director of Public Health and residents to work together as one team to address this problem.

Let us clear the existing garbage, stop further dumping, improve garbage collection and address similar dumping points across kitwe .

With the rains approaching, we must act now. Our children are particularly vulnerable to diseases caused by poor sanitation and unmanaged waste.

A clean and healthy Kitwe is a shared responsibility. Let us work together and protect our communities, especially our children.

*🚛🚚Spot a similar dumpsite in your area for the attention of kitwe city council for collection be it in the market or open space or in your residential area*

*BA KITWE, LET US INVEST IN OUR YOUTH, WOMEN AND PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES*

As we work together to organise and restructure our C*D and kitwe District at large , may we also consider making *skills development an important part of the process*.

I would like to appreciate the organisations and institutions already providing skills training to our youth, women and people living with disabilities, even though it's offered at a fee. Their contribution is important to our communities.

At the same time, I respectfully encourage our mines and companies such as *Mopani, KCM, CEC, ZESCO, Zamtel* and others to explore ways of strengthening community skills development as part of their contribution to the communities where they operate.

*Kitwe City Council can also lead by example.* As Government at local level and a key service institution, Council could explore more opportunities for *skills training, attachments, internships and practical work experience* for our young people, women and people living with disabilities.

We could also consider how *CDF can support well-organised community-based workshops and small businesses* who can offer training in mechanics, auto-electrical, plumbing, carpentry, welding, phone and computer repairs, tailoring, driving, beauty and other practical skills once empowered with cdf.

As we reorganise the C*D, let us also look at people currently earning a living through small activities such as *mobile money, fruit and shoe selling, car washing, passenger loading and other informal work.* Where possible, let us help connect them to *skills training and alternative opportunities* that can improve their livelihoods.

Our *graduates also need our attention*. We could encourage companies, Council and other institutions to provide *attachments, internships and workplace experience* after graduation, helping young people bridge the gap between *academic learning and practical work experience*.

*BA KITWE MWINSEKA, ISENI TUBIKE AMANO PAMO OVER C*D CONGESTION*

Our C*D is carrying too much pressure. Instead of putting almost everything in town, *Let Us Take Services, Businesses And Opportunities Closer To Where People Live.*

1... *SHORT-TERM SOLUTIONS*

👉 *Upgrade Ward Markets In All Five Constituencies*
Let us provide proper trading spaces, sanitation, drainage, storage, security, lighting and good access roads. This can give our traders decent places to work within their own communities.

👉 **Encourage Businesses To Open Outlets In Our Constituencies**
Through appropriate Council by-laws and incentives, we can encourage anchor shops such as *Shoprite, Pick n Pay, wholesalers, Bata, pharmacies, restaurants and other businesses* to establish outlets closer to residents.

👉 **Take Essential Public Services Closer To The People**
Where practical, services such as *Council Planning and Legal offices, NRC, Subordinate Courts, RTSA, ZESCO, Airtel, MTN, Zamtel and ZRA* can have service points across the five constituencies. This would reduce unnecessary trips to the C*D.

👉 *Improve Public Transport and Parking Management*
Public transport should have properly planned holding areas outside the C*D, while parking in town should be organised through designated spaces and reasonable time limits.

2. *LONG-TERM SOLUTION*

👉*RETHINK AND MODERNISE CHISOKONE*

With proper planning, Chisokone could be redeveloped into a *Modern Multi-Storey Market*, providing organised trading spaces while incorporating a *Modern Bus Terminal underneath the market storeys*.

This should be a *Partnership effort*. Council and Government can provide leadership , policies , financial and coordination, while *mining companies, businesses operating in Kitwe and cooperating partners* can contribute financially, technically and other forms of support.

*My proposal — what is your contribution?*

* *BA LUYANDO MWINSEKA, IS IT DIFFICULTY TO CHANGE THE FACE OF LUYANDO WARD ?*

As a fellow kitwe District community Leader and someone who cares about Development of *Luyando and kitwe District at large*, I believe we can do more to make our ward *clean, green, healthy and safe*.

My humble proposal is that *the community, WDC, Councillor, MP, Council and other stakeholders* should come together and work on these priorities:

1...*Relocate the dumpsite** away from the community because of the health risks it may pose.

2...*Build a police post and installation of street lights** to strengthen security.

3...*Construct a proper market shelter** with good ablution facilities for our traders.

4...*Establish a skills development centre** to give our young people practical skills and opportunities.

5...*Construct a 1×3 classroom block* to support education.

6...*Improve drainage and pave roads** to reduce flooding, dust and poor road conditions.

7...*Establish a systematic garbage collection system** to keep Luyando clean and healthy.

8...*Help residents secure ownership documents for their plots**, because land ownership documentation is important for every household.

9...*Health post or Clinic* the strength of the community is dependant on the health situation of the community

10...*Community Center Recreation*

11...*Water and Sanitation development*

These things cannot be achieved by one person alone. *They require the community and our elected leaders to work together.*

This is how I understand *Decentralisation and Devolution*—bringing development closer to the people and making sure communities have a voice in their own development.
