She thanked the chief for having progressive ideas and a positive attitude in the programme that will go a ,long way in sensitizing the traditional leadership.
And Chief Chikanta of the Tonga speaking people of Kalomo District thanked government for initiating the training programme.
Chief Chikanta said his role is to support the government of the day and ensure that its policies are implemented.
He said it was the first time such a programme was taking place in his chiefdom and has since called on his Indunas and headmen to embrace the programme.
Chief Chikanta said as a chief he has served under four presidents for the past 18 years and none of them had ever visited his chiefdom.
He said it is good that the Patriotic Front government is delivering on its promises and is fulfilling its campaign promises.
Chief Chikanta said he is happy that the Patriotic Front government is reaching out to its people and bringing development as close as possible.
