Mr Njeulu who is also Sinjembela constituency Member of Parliament promised the people that government will not let them die of hunger as everything possible was being done to ensure that relief maize is brought to feed people in the constituency.

He said the maize once brought will be shared to everyone who needs help regardless of their political affiliations in the area.

Mr Njeulu said the leadership of President Lungu is an all-embracing one which seeks to ensure that the lives of people in the country are protected.

He said PF is growing in the locality.
